Thai Akha Tribe Cooking Class & Market Tour

The booking process and communication were easy, and we got a confirmation very soon. We had a wonderful experience with Thai Ahka cooking school. Everything was so organised and well planned. We had 11 dishes, and everything was delicious. Great value for money! We even had a printed cookbook to take home. The price on cookly is much better also.

It was really enjoyable. I think especially because I love to eat, I appreciated the fact that we got to enjoy 11 dishes. It was fun starting off going through the local market and being shown some of the common Thai ingredients (esp because usually I avoid out of inability to communicate and never knowing how to tell what's good versus bad haha). The cooking class itself was awesome. Despite my own introversion and not being a huge fan of small talk, it was nice interacting with people from different backgrounds, sharing thoughts and some laughs, and just being kind humans to one another. Jasmine was the guide, and she did a splendid job. Other than being funny (to me anyway), she just engaged everyone in such a warm and friendly way, giving clear examples for us to follow, and ensuring everyone was enjoying their dishes. Besides her, there was one silent but consistent worker in the back who diligently accepted our dishes and cleaned them (unfortunately don't know name). Then there was Ming, also diligently working in the background to prepare ingredients for the next dish as we enjoyed a recently made dish as well as giving us ingredients to prepare for the next cooking. I appreciated the 4 breaks we had to enjoy our meals throughout the cooking day. Super appreciative of the cookbook because I'd definitely forget the majority of ingredients and steps to make the yummy meals I somehow made. Overall, I feel like if you just want to enjoy your day, have some laughs, learn a little bit about a culture you might never otherwise, and enjoy yummy food, then you'll really enjoy your time here.

Fantastic! There are so many cooking schools in Chiang Mai but this class covered so many things at a great price. Three of us learned how to make papaya salad, fried spring rolls, three Akha dishes, three curries, three stir fries, three soups, and two desserts. The space is beautiful, the equipment professional, and Niti was so imformative about Thai and Akha culture, but most importantly, technique for perfecting Thai dishes. They provide transport to and from their school. Arrive hungry because the class is well timed with eating breaks of what you make, and you will be cooking a lot of food.

Definitely worth it, 100% reccomend Attended this cooking class with my whole family. Must reccomend even for non-cooks, very well instructed throughout the whole class, amazing work space, lovely instructors and a great cookbook! Market in the morning is a lot of fun, we got to taste everything we wanted and our instructor had an answer to every question we came up with. 5 stars indeed, thank you for this experience, we will never forget it.

Totally recommend!
