Authentic Thai Cooking Class And Farm Visit In Chiang Mai

Highly recommend this cooking class…it was excellent. Chef Noon was a very good teacher…learned a lot

One of the best experiences I had in Thailand!!! The were soooo attentive to all of us, from my 5 year old to my 16 year old. Everyone took part. The food was the best I ate in Thailand!!!! Olive- our guide was amazing!!!

It exceeded our family’s expectations. Our guide Nune, made cooking all five dishes easy, educational and fun!

Our guide, driver and cooking teacher named “A” was an all around fun and happy guy. We were first introduced to Thai ingredients in the local markets and then driven to the farm. The best part was that we individually get to pick our own 5 course meal: appetizer, noodle/rice dish, soup, curry and dessert. Everything was well organized and delicious. Highly recommend.

We had a really nice time overall, and Tommy was an excellent guide. He did a great job managing a group with mixed languages and made sure everyone felt included and understood. The cooking class itself was fun, the food was delicious, and we enjoyed visiting the market and learning about Thai cuisine. My major complaint is that this is advertised as a half-day tour, but it ended up taking our entire day. We were picked up around 8:20 a.m. and weren’t dropped back off until almost 5:00 p.m. We booked this expecting to finish in the city between 2:00–3:00 p.m., so it significantly affected the rest of our plans. Because the farm is well outside the city, there’s no option to leave early once you’re there. I would only recommend this company if the listing is updated to reflect that it’s really a full-day activity so travelers can plan accordingly.

Family of 5. Went on the farm cooking tour - sensational facilities and organic massive garden. Pond, waterwheel, chooks, geese. Picked up and went to the market in the city. City cooking also available - but so glad we elected to do the farm as the serenity and lushness of the countryside was stunning. And we had the whole open space to ourselves. Sooooo much food. You get to select what you will make: 5 courses and so much variety. We made them all and shared as a family. Seamless, smooth behind the scenes facilitation meant it was engaging the whole day. Given a gorgeous book of every recipe and simple step by step guides with photos of ingredients to recreate at home. 9-4pm door to door including all driving (approx 40 mins each way in air conditioned van). Marium was an amazing host and teacher from beginning to end.

Thai cooking class with Nune was awesome! It was a small group and we were able to go to the morning market to understand how to shop for ingredients and then see them growing on the farm. Very peaceful setting for the cooking class on the farm itself. Well organized and paced with lots of hands on time. Definitely feel like I could make some of these recipes when I return home! You leave very full, with a cute cookbook that contains step by step instructions and the team takes and posts your photos on the website the next day so you can be in the moment. 10/10 recommend when in Chiang Mai!

Did the cooking class at the organic farm and it was so beautiful. It‘s also not too hot during the day. So the class is a good way to escape the heat :) our teacher thai was very nice and funny. Would recommand this experience :)

Don’t eat beforehand or you might spoil your appetite. Nune was our guide/chef instructor and really made this an easy, exciting, and super tasty experience!! Nune taught us numerous delicious Thai dishes such as curry (I picked Khaw Soi), Sticky rice w/ Mango (so good 🤤), Pad Thai, etc. Roll up your sleeves and get ready to have a sweet time! If you like spice you’ll love it, and if you don’t like spice Nune also teaches you how to make the dishes more mild to your specific liking. What are you waiting for, great food is right around the corner, and with the super funny and entertaining Nune guiding you along the way you’ll make some of the tastiest dishes around. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My Wife and I loved this class!! 😁🫶🏾 Kob koon krub (thank you) Nune!!! 🤗🤩😁😋

from start to finish this tie, cooking class experience was exceptional! experienced Thai chef NUNE was knowledgeable and fun to be with as we experienced all the delights of the Thai cuisine. I would highly recommend this cooking class.

Super unique cooking class. Tommy makes the whole thing in my option. He has such energy and humor and amazingly enough with all the many dishes he had to account for the food turned out great. If there was a way to do something without the grocery and garden I would have been happy to have the experience be shorter. But that’s also because our time in Chiang Mai was limited. We did the class with your young adult kids 19 and 21 and everyone enjoyed themselves.

If you select the farm option, you will travel to a very lovely location (45min in A/C-ed minivan), picking up fresh herbs and so on directly form the garden. Cooking 5 or 6 dishes together with the group, all led by the energetic and fun chef: Nune. I had zero cooking skills and still managed to do it. FYI, the activity lasts longer than in the presentation details

The cooking course was a highlight of Chiang Mai. After being picked up (note that they will message you on the app to tell you an exact pickup time) we were dropped off at the city centre location and then driven to the local market to understand a few of the ingredients regularly used in Thai cooking. Afterwards, we drove to the farm (approx 40mins). The farm was very tranquil and we were introduced to further ingredients and picked some for our cooking. In total, we made 5/6 dishes and you had approximately 4 options for each dish, all of which were very tasty. Sue was very detailed when talking through each dish and at the end we were given a small cookbook so we could replicate the dishes at home. Overall, I would highly recommend to anyone interested!

Excellent tour! Staff were patient, funny and kind. Instructions were informative but easy to follow. Would highly recommend!

Just great vibes throughout. I was in a mixed group of Europeans and felt very comfortable as the only solo traveller. We visited a local market to explain some of the vegetables we would be using and then took a ride to the farm north of the city. What a beautiful, relaxing place the farm was. We took a tour around it, sampling some of the herbs we would be using. Then it was on to the cooking. Considering there were 11 people cooking 5 courses with different dishes in each, this was really well handled. I learned a lot, had lots of fun and ate well. Thoroughly recommended.

Such a wonderful experience. The farm is so peaceful, the team is kind, fun and skilled, the classes are the perfect size and the recipes are 10/10.

We had such a great experience. Our teacher Olive was the best!!! We learned so much and had the best time<3

For your first Thai cooking class exeperience I recommend this 100% cause it will definitely give you the full experience! Meaning that you will learn about the ingredients in depth and in a fun easygoing way, with a teacher that has an amazing personality and expertise in teaching. You will feel welcome, well taken care of and the atmosphere is easy going yet fast paced and super informative. You will love this either going alone or with a group. The cook book you get after is amazing. Totally worth the money and you will def be able to make the dishes at home later. The atmosphere and location are both amazing.

What an amazing experience So much more than just a cooking course. So friendly and accommodating. The food we cooked was wonderful.

I attended the afternoon (dinner) class. I am a vegetarian and was assured it would be no problem. It was great. I never knew that there was a mushroom sauce which could be used instead of fish sauce! The class started with a tour of their herb garden and then the local vegetable market to learn about the ingredients. Explanations and demonstrations were done. Next it was our turn to prepare our dishes. There were three courses and more than enough food. I also enjoyed that there were young people from several different countries at my table.

Learning how curry paste is made and used. Preparing the food was fun and delicious. Seeing the farm was a plus.

This was one of the highlights of our time in Chiang Mai! The class and logistics were very organized, and a lot was packed into that time. Our guide/teacher was so fun and very knowledgeable on the food and ingredients and the food was so delicious! Would highly recommend this experience!

Such a wonderful experience. We had the half day cooking class and were lucky enough to be taught by the owner Gayle. She was a delight! Was so much fun and learnt loads (and got to eat everything we cooked!)

Katie was an amazing guide and teacher. The whole experience was truly wonderful and well thought out. They did a wonderful job of bringing everything together. The cooking experience was so cool and they did a great job of making it available to everyone, no matter the cooking skills.

Great cooking class, well balanced with preparation and cooking time, so you won't get bored if you are a more experienced cook. Plenty of dishes to choose from and if you go as a couple, even better, cause you can choose different things, to taste more dishes. At the end, you receive a book with all the recipes, which is really practical. We travelled around Thailand and can really recommend to do a cooking class in the first days of arriving in a new region, cause it's one of the easiest and best ways to learn about the local cuisine and culture. And recipes really change as you travel from one end of Thailand to another.

This was a fabulous day! Our guide/teacher was "Oy" (I think I spelled that right.) At any rate, my wife and I cooked up a storm. She's a good cook, but I am entry level at best. This was super fun, and to be honest, I made what I think were the best spring rolls I've ever had! We made coconut soup, and Pad Thai and a few other dishes. It was amazing. Nice comfortable van for transport. I couldn't recommend this more!

Really great class we made 5 dishes including the best khao soi we ate in chiang mai! Pen was great and we got so much in to a half day class, we made spring rolls, a soup, a curry including the paste and a pad Thai, you could fully pick your menu which was nice including any dietary requirements, overall really recommend

This was by far one of the best things I did during my trip to Thailand! Katie our expert guide was so lovely and taught us so much about Thai cooking, all the while making it super fun too. I went by myself but got to meet some great people from all over the world. I did the half day (5 dishes instead of 7) so it was 5 hours which started with a quick tour of their small backyard garden where we learned about some of the Thai vegetables and herbs we'd be using. Then we went to this brilliant market nearby before coming back and making the dishes. Really easy to follow and it was so, so much fun! Icing on the cake is that you get a cute little cookbook at the end of it with all the recipes and more, plus they take photos for you. Couldn't recommend more!

This was an incredible experience! Our guide Thai was amazing, super engaging and really funny! We would definitely recommend this experience to others as there was so many different elements to the course, like seeing the farm aswell as the market where the produce was sold. The 5 dishes we made were delicious and wish we could have stayed longer to make more!

I love Thai food and think I do an adequate job preparing Thai food at home. This class was an immersion experience into Thai cooking, literally from the ground up. The class started with an introduction to the dishes that could be made by each participant. Of course Pad Thai and Spring Rolls were on the menu. I did not expect that making red, green or Khao soi curries from scratch. A trip to the market allowed to see and touch ingredients and helped me to understand what to look for when shopping back home, even if I couldn’t read the labels. The half day trip included a trip to a local farm, where many of the ingredients used in Thai cooking are grown. The actual cooking took place in an outdoor kitchen with individual cooking stations. Our instructor, Katie, supervised and oversaw the group’s cooking with step by step instructions for each of 5 dishes. The best part was eating the dishes that each of us had prepared at a community table. This class is not just watching and observing cooking but actually making your own Thai food with a watchful eye from start to finish.

Had such an incredible time. Pearl was such a fun and engaging instructor. All the meals were delicious! Had one of the best Massaman curries ever! We made so many meals and it was so fun to try all the dishes.

We had a great evening here! The setting was amazing, and suited the experience perfectly. You get to make a good variety of dishes, all which tasted delicious. Rainy, our group leader, was a great laugh and made the night entertaining!

This was an absolute highlight for my sister and I on our SE Asia Trip!!! We had heard about this cooking class in Chiang Mai via Tiktok and were so excited to be able to book a space, as this class usually sells out quickly. We were picked up from our hostel, taken to a local market and shown all the fresh ingredients we would be using in the kitchen and then driven to the beautiful kitchen out in the countryside. The menu consists of 5 different courses, of which you can select one of three available dishes to make (and can customise spice levels too). Our instructor was called Aoy and she was the sweetest person ever who had us laughing the entire time!!! All the food, teaching and setting was absolutely perfect. I also want to give a special mention to all the staff that helped clean up, prepare the cooking stations and ensure a smooth and seamless transition between each meal - their work did not go unnoticed!! We left the day feeling absolutely stuffed and ready to tell our friends all about the class we did!! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience! We've now adopted their motto: "More spicy, more sexy!!"

Absolutely amazing experience, the day was great fun from start to finish. Our guide and teacher was extremely friendly and an awesome laugh throughout the day. Definitely recommend this to everybody visiting chiang mai

Had an amazing experience at this cooking school our host Lin was fantastic and made it so enjoyable all the food was 10/10

We had the most wonderful time on our morning cooking class. Starting at the markets learning about all the ingredients we would be using for the day and getting to customise our menus we wanted to make. Our instructor for the day was Aim, who had us laughing throughout the whole day. Aim was such an excellent teacher and made the experience 10x more enjoyable. All the food is so achievable for any level of cooking skills. The setting it beautiful and you leave stuffed full of delicious food. Definitely book a cooking class here when you’re in Chiang Mai!

Amazing experience, great choice of dishes, enthusiastic teaching, gorgeous surroundings and delicious and very well presented results, a Chiang mai must do

Had an absolute blast with Rainy and the team at the Thai Cooking School! Really fun and engaging and learnt a lot about the food. Includes pick up and drop off near accommodation in city making it really accessible and easy. Highly recommend!

We had a great time at the cooking class. Aim our teacher was wonderful and everything was tasty! I highly recommend to take this class thanks to the wonderful atmosphere, tasty food and great teacher. Everything was planned out and very organised

Such a fun experience!! My whole family loved it including my 16yo son. Our instructor was Rainy… she was AMAZING, very knowledgeable and funny with great energy. Food was delectable and the setting was very serene. Definitely recommend!!

It was an amazing experience. You get to learn a little about the ingredients you will be using to make your dishes at a small market. You’ll also be allowed to have a little look around and buy things if you wish after the small introduction. Afterwards, you get taken to where the kitchens are. There are such a variety of dishes you can choose to cook, and so many you get to cooks. An appetiser, a stir-fry, a soup, a curry, and everyone makes sticky mango rice. Some of the dishes are made in teams (as in, all the people who chose one dish will work together to make it), while other dishes were solo. Our cook (Lin) was super energetic and enthusiastic, making the whole experience even better. Her instructions were clear, and the cooking felt like it passed by in seconds. The whole process was swift and smooth, well planned (while at one station, another staff member is setting up the next area with needed ingredients or equipment so you can move from one station to the next with no hitch). You get to eat all the food you make, or you can take the last two dishes back with you (the curry and mango sticky rice) if you wish to. Overall, a 10/10 experience, would highly recommend. Totally worth the price considering how long the experience is, and how much you get to make.

Very well run - clean and high quality ingredients, nice facility, and well organized. Aoy (our host) was fun and lively, and did an excellent job leading our group. Food was delicious. Definitely recommend.

Brilliant!! The whole evening was so enjoyable, from start to end. They collected us directly from our hotel, brought us to a market and explained everything to us, really enjoyable and good humoured evening! We had an hilarious chef Rainey!! So funny and would highly recommend for a good evening, you come away with new techniques and you get a brilliant recipe book also. However , try book directly, I booked online and was way more expensive than going direct! 👩🏽‍🍳

Very awesome experience which included a tour of a local market where we learned about local ingredients and substitutes for ingredients. We then arrived to the beautiful cooking school and were greeted by 4 adorable puppies. We cooked 5 courses of our choice which were an appetizer, stir fry, soup, curry (we made homemade curry paste for it) and dessert. The instructors Aoy and Aim were very patient, helpful, and funny teaching us to cook the dishes and prepare the ingredients. The food was all very delicious and the experience was so worth it.

Highly recommend Zabb E Lee Cooking School . We had a great experience and our host Aoy was so friendly and helpful . She made the experience very enjoyable . Thank you !

Amazing experience in Chiang mai. Our teacher, Hoi, was very friendly and with a lovely personality. She spoke English really well so it was easy to follow along. You can choose the dish you want to eat and learn how to make it. Come with an empty stomach as it is a lot of food.

Highly recommend Zabb E Lee cooking school, an amazing day and an unforgettable experience. The food was so delicious and it was great being able to make a range of thai meals. Everyone at the cooking school is so friendly, special shoutout to Lin our instructor who is hilarious and an amazing chef, we all had so much fun and learnt a lot from her. Go to Zabb E Lee and fill your bellies, you will not regret it!

This was a fantastic activity and really enjoyed it! We went for the morning class and we made 5 dishes!! Huge portions (don't eat before you go!) and our teaching Lynn was fantastic, really fun, and energetic and engaging. Pick-up from your hotel was included, and they took you directly to the market and learning about some of the different ingredients. You have some spending time at the market to buy some spices and mixes for you to take home if you want at such great prices! The cooking school was located in these fantastic huts with a beautiful garden to explore - felt like a magical oasis - a perfect location for the perfect cooking class. We saw a lot of videos on social media about this class and it didn't fail. It went above and beyond my expectations. And to top it all, you even get a recipe book to go home and make all the recipes (and more!). The recipes are simple and can be easily done with local ingredients and the taste is incredible. Honestly, if you go to Chiang Mai, this is something you have to do! Can't recommend it enough!!

All the staff were friendly, charming and very funny! The meals were amazing and we received cookbooks at the end. Would highly recommend this cooking school to anyone wanting to learn some thai dishes!
