5 Hour Morning Thai Cooking Course

Our guide and instructor, New, was fabulous! She is knowledgable and friendly and fun! Fabulous experience! Highly recommended.

Sent my sister to learn cooking class in this Thai cooking studio. She said the teacher was very accommodating, understanding, kind and she made her feel at home. The owner is very nice as well. She said she learned a lot. Highly recommend.

Awesome experience. So much food that we didn’t eat dinner. Our instructor, New, was a complete professional and spoke English very well. She made us feel welcomed and comfortable. They sent a red truck right to our hotel in the morning and dropped us off there when we finished. Do yourself a favor and book this class.

We had a great time going to the market and having all of the ingredients explained to us. Then we purchased all the fresh ingredients to cook with. Our teacher, New (not sure of spelling) was incredible. Everything was explained very well. I’d definitely recommend this to everyone, and take it again to make more dishes.

First the two ladies we’re really helpful in explaining everything from the market to the kitchen. The whole course was very informative and simple. I recommend it to anyone interested in Thai cuisine.

Very friendly and accommodating I requested for halal and they obliged. A morning well spent. Transport was included. I highly recommend Galangal.

Not knowing anything about cooking or Thai food is not a problem anymore. The guides are all great taking us to the market, showing us what to buy, teaching about how to prepare and finally eating.

We were picked at the hotel and after a short drive we settled in at Galangal’s. We got to pick 5 courses each before we set off. The team was incredible which allowed everyone to join, including our 10-year old, and enjoy the experience and the food we cooked was amazing.

It was an amazing experience! Our tutors were very good at speaking English, therefore giving us enough information about the ingrediënts we used to make our dishes. The food was also exceptional, we made everything ourselves but our tutors knew exactly what it needed to make it even better. Overall i really recommend this cooking class for young and old!

This class was amazing. Our instructor (New) was so informative and helpful, talking us through all the ingredients and steps to make the dishes. The class was structured in a very good way with time to eat in between before making more food so it wasn’t too overwhelming. She also sent us all the recipes following the class. This was a great morning spent in Chiang Mai and I would definitely recommend.

We had an amazing time with Aoy. The cooking at Galangal was much more authentic than the other cooking school we attended. Highly recommend

It was not my first time in the Galangal Cooking studio. I went there 10 years ago and wanted to repeat the experience with my husband. It was really great. The staff is so professional, warm and welcoming. We went to the market first to buy food. We had a great range of dishes with all explanations and comments needed. Dishes are actually quite easy to repeat at home. When having dinner, we had a great chat with lovely and cheerful Aoy who welcomed us so open heartedly. Don’t hesitate and take this class in Galangal. You will enjoy and eat as kings and queens. We will come back. Thank you, ladies! Missing you!

Highly recommend - Easy to book. Able to select in advance what we wanted to cook - choice meant that we were able to double the number of dishes my husband and I learnt to do. Did need to call the evening before to confirm pick up time but we were collected promptly from our hotel and taken with another couple to meet Aoy at her cookery school and then on to the local market. What a treat to have everything shown to us, smelt , touched, explained - away from the tourist focused markets in central Chaing Mai. Ingredients bought for cooking later. Aoy’s English great - so easy to ask questions, follow instructions and chat throughout the day. At the cookery school we each had our own cooking station. Equipment all provided and all vegetables & meat provided washed/peeled ready so we were able to spend more time doing seasoning, sauces and actually cooking. Plenty of time to enjoy cooking and eating afterwards. . Transport provided back to our hotel as well. What a feast! - no breakfast or dinner needed that day. Thoroughly enjoyed - food was all delicious and full recipe book emailed afterwards with information on all the ingredients as well as easy to follow recipes. Great value day.

I was the only one to book the class that day and still they held it just for me. They picked me up and we went to the local market where they showed and explained all the ingredients. She explained and led me through the whole cooking step by step, it was really amazing. So friendly and just great people. I would highly recommend it and would always take the class again. The food was also really good and I enjoyed the experience so much. Thank you for one of my trips highlights.

While in Chiang Mai, my husband and I booked a private class at Galangal Cooking Studio. Aoy picked us up from our hotel and we went to a local market to pick up all of the ingredients we needed and learned about what to use. From there we went to the studio, which is beautiful! Very clean and homey feeling. We made 5 meals from scratch each. My husband and I both chose different dishes so we had 10 different dishes to eat. We made everything with Aoy’s guidance and had such a fun day. The food was amazing. The best food we ate on our entire trip in Thailand. I would highly recommend a private class because it was very intimate. However I’m sure a public class is just as enjoyable. After our class Aoy sent us a digital cooking book with a bunch of recipes which I’m so excited to try some when we return home. We would visit again for sure the next time we are in Thailand.

Wonderful and professional. Got picked up from our hotel, picked up the ingredients at the market for the dishes we were going to cook, and then returned to the facility to cook. 3 cooked and 3 watched. Great instructions and of course after you fisish cooking you get to eat what you cooked. Great fun.

For anyone interested in how to prepare authentic Thai dishes, I strongly recommend taking a course at the Galangal cooking studio. Accessible and professional at the same time, the teachers will talk you through the process of preparing five different dishes. You will learn about ingredients, cooking techniques and seasonings. The approach is very hands-on, with an individual cooking station for every student. All staff members are very welcoming, the studio pristinely clean and the dishes are exceptionally flavourful. The added bonus is the fact that you can choose which dishes you'd like to prepare from a menu subdivided in categories, so there's definitely something to cater to anyone's preferences. I had an amazing experience and will definitely recreate the dishes at home.

I thoroughly enjoyed the morning cooking class with Aoy. She was so friendly and knowledgeable. The trip to the market was very interesting. I was spoilt for choice when it came to selecting which dishes to cook, and everything I made tasted great!

We had a fantastic time being taught our favourite Thai dishes with New our instructor. We got to choose 5 dishes each then stopped off at the market to get the ingredients . It was a fun and informative class and myself and my 2 teenage kids loved every minute of it . We learnt lots about Thai cuisine . Would thoroughly recommend.

The cooking class has been truly fun, we got to learn how to cook 5 different Thai dishes with the help of Aoy, our super nice cooking instructor. I definitely recommend the experience!

Best experience in Thailand,very friendly and patients with less experienced people. i recommend coocking Pad Thai and Mango sticky rice.

The cooking class was amazing, definitely exceeded our expectations! The instructor was super friendly and helpful, we loved learning how to make some of our favorite Thai dishes. Highly recommend this class!!!

This class was amazing! New is such a lovely instructor. I loved going to the market and listening to her explain the local ingredients. There are so many options to choose from for cooking, and they are all delicious. I left feeling extremely full and happy :) Would recommend this class to anyone!

That morning cooking course at Galangal has really been a wonderful experience : getting around in the local fresh market after the selection of the dishes we wanted to prepare, fantastic and competent explanations from New, fun during the preparation of the dishes, with good humour from New whose mastering of English is wonderful, and a lot of advices, testing, correcting what we were doing. Good organization, clean place, very clear instructions. Each of us prepared one curry paste and 5 recipes. Everything was wonderfully delicious. As we could not eat everything, New provided us with adhoc containers to take away what was left, which provided for the evening meal. A wonderful experience which we can only heartily recommend : fun + useful cooking experience to take away home. Thanks to New for the good time during the course. Thanks Galangal. If you want a really excellent course of thai cooking, go to Galangal.

The instructors where so friendly and patient and nice ! The food was delicious !! We learned a lot about Thai food and the ingredients.

We had a great morning experience being taught how to cook some famous Thai dishes like massaman curry, red curry, tom kha kai, spring rolls and fried bananas. Full of flavor and great instruction from our teacher Aoy. Afterwards we enjoyed our own prepared (delicious!) food. We enjoyed every single part of it and highly recommend this cooking course to everyone visiting Chiang Mai!

With a taxi we were picked up at our hotel and taken to Galangel Cooking Studio. Once there, we were introduced to the cooking instructor and were allowed to choose which 5 dishes we wanted to make. We didn't all have to choose the same thing. Then we were taken to the market, where the instructor took care of the purchases of the necessary ingredients and also explained the different ingredients. Then we drove back and it was time to cook. It explained very clearly what had to be done and helped if it did not work. The result was fantastic, good food and prepared all by yourself. And also a very nice experience.

This was so much fun! You will be picked up from your hotel and taken to the cooking location. After a glass of water we first go to the market, because cooking without ingredients is of course difficult. At the market, New explains all kinds of fruit and vegetables to our instructor. Then she buys everything and we go back. We are going to make 5 dishes that you can choose yourself. In the whole cooking process you are very well guided really top. I advise everyone to do this. This is getting to know Thai cuisine. You may bring your own food that you do not get. The recipes will also be emailed to you so you can make it at home.

After we were picked up from our hotel we were welcomed by the cookery workshop supervisor. First to the market to get ingredients and then to start preparing the dishes selected in advance. The tastes and smells were delicious. The amount of peppers is taken into account. There was so much food I couldn't eat, and half portions would be fine by me. After cooking and eating 5 courses we were dropped off at our hotel early in the afternoon. There we first went for an hour. Highly recommended to do. Our group was very nice. People from Taiwan and Singapore.

The course is perfect! But too cheap! First of all, facts: everyone cooks 5! dishes and eats everything. You don't just taste it, you get a 5-course meal! This is something to keep in mind! Everything is explained to you incredibly lovingly at the market. In the course, everything is explained and you prepare it yourself. (Almost everything) The cook/teacher is incredibly kind, helpful, patient and fulfills every wish. The food is amazing! It tastes wonderful and you get all the recipes by email at the end! I can therefore warmly recommend the course with a clear conscience!
