What to Expect
The cooking journey starts at the local market, that mostly visited by the locals only. We will see how Thai people sell and buy their everyday meal, you can try some local Northern Thai food in the market too.
Then we head to our lovely home and there's an organic garden you get to harvest ingredients from, a rice field just outside the back gates, and mangoes grow right above your head.
The outdoor kitchen is set up in a welcoming style where everyone cooks together and gets to try each other's dishes. Each person will have their own cooking station and hands-on cooking experience with the menu you choose. You will learn to cook 5 delicious dishes that absolutely plan to recreate at home. We can also accommodate to individual taste and dietary needs. We will provide a complimentary recipe book before transfer you back to your hotel in Chiang Mai downtown.
