Evening Cooking Class

One of the best experiences I have ever attended, whole time staff was very attentive and kept on supporting us through cooking. It was really easy to follow all the steps and I had great time. Everything I cooked came out great and was more than enough to make us full.

If you like to cook and like Thai food, this is a fun and relaxing way to spend an evening.

New, our instructor, was friendly, patient and funny. We had a small class, but you can see their efficiency and organization. Thanks for a great experience!

W me loved our Thai cooking experience with New! She was friendly, spoke very good English and did a great job describing and teaching us all about the flavours behind our favourite Thai dishes. Oh, and the dishes we made were delicious. Highly recommend!

Everything started smoothly with an on-time pickup, followed by a visit to a local market where our host, Nu, and her trainee assistant introduced and explained all the ingredients we would be using. Our group of 8 was the perfect size—friendly and interactive without feeling crowded. After the market, we headed to the cooking venue where we prepared around five different dishes. The process was hands-on, fun, and easy to follow, and the best part was getting to eat everything we made. A tip for future visitors: come hungry, as the portions are generous. It’s also worth buying drinks at the market to bring along. The experience lasted about 4.5 hours in total, and it was enjoyable from start to finish. A great way to learn about Thai cooking—highly recommended!

Great time. Host was great and food was very good, you could control how spicy you wanted. Well worth the money and a lot of fun for family or friends.

Very nice evening, clear instruction and made to feel welcome. No rush and dish selection was good. Good info on ingredients and recipes for future use.

Great service,friendly driver,picked up on time ,lovely Tuck Tuck drive to food and veg market. Met host New ,so friendly ,excellent knowledge on herbs and spices at market then onwards to cooking class. Class was air-conditioned, well spaced out with a homely welcoming feeling,New the host english was perfect and she was a great teacher and honestly a lovely person,cooked four amazing dishes thanks to New and got to pack up and take home what we didn't finish. Loved the experience so .much that iv booked a half day morning class this week also. Thanks New Your were great.

Great class! Aoy made everything easy to follow, filled with laughter, and made even better by sharing it with new friends. Truly memorable.

We booked this not really knowing what to expect and we were very pleasantly surprised! Our teacher New was so welcoming and friendly, she provided a very informative class. We were brought to the market before hand and shown where our ingredients were bought, she provided alternatives for the ingredients if we are unable to get them back home in Ireland. We made 4 meals, after our first 2 we sat to eat and then moved onto the next with no rush and a clean area to eat. We had a small class and it felt very personal as she knew our names and it was a very friendly experience. We laughed and enjoyed throughout the entirety of the class and we could not recommend enough. Good value for money as all the ingredients were fresh and we got 4 meals out of it. It was just the right amount of time as the heat in Thailand and cooking are hard to maintain. New our teacher emailed the recipes to us after the class, we will be bringing these recipes home to our families in Ireland to enjoy ! Could not recommend enough.

New was very courteous and pleasant. She was professional and took keen interest in all participants, ensuring that we were learning Thai cuisine. She took time to explain the process and ingredients too. She even gave us containers to bring back food we could not finish eating! Highly recommend Galangal Cooking studio!

It was a great experience! I really enjoyed the time and food. I will definitely recommend this class 😄 Was fun . The most important thing is that I never thought Thai food was easy to cook if you understand how.

New and everyone on staff are great, this was a wonderful experience, and we learned to cook yummy food. I highly recommend.

New was a perfect instructor - so helpful and full of smiles. We had a good introduction to the ingredients on the local market, and then went to the cooking class, where New took us through the process of making each dish. Thank you so much for a good experience!!

This was an amazing experience!!! Our host was super helpful and friendly and guided us with every dish. The food was great and I would definitely be making these back home again.

Very tasty food! I learned a lot and the women who reached us was very nice and remembered our names. Would definitely recommend doing this!

Delicious recipes and an amazing teacher. There are several options to choose from for appetizer, soup, curry and main dish. Totally recommend it!

Amazing Thai cooking experience. Lovely host, easy and yummy recipes (I am confident to make these at home) and fun and interactive dinner cooking experience. 100% recommended! Thank you.

This was an amazing cooking class. We had always dreamed of doing a class here, specifically in Chiang Mai because of its foodie following. We took the class that included a market tour and that was awesome. Then we got a ride to the actually kitchen and that was awesome. Our instructor, New (spelling?) was super energetic and informative. When you sign up for the course you get to pick which dishes you’d like to make and each person got to pick! Great explanations of what the ingredients were and the history of each dish. Very clean work area and amazing results! We were so full after. They even pick you up and drop you off at your hotel which was super convenient! Overall, amazing experience!

We all made delicious food and the camaraderie was great. We were all letting each other try our dishes. There was plenty to share.

Great experience! From the freshness of the ingredients (we went to the local market to pick out the spices and ingredients) to the kindness of the staff and the instruction, it was simply fun and delicious. They even provide pick up and drop off!

Fantastic evening. Food exceptional. Everything was well organized and went smoothly. Couldn’t have asked for a better evening.

We had a great evening, learned a lot about Thai cuisine. New was enthousiastic and friendly. Good location, good food, lot's of different dishes to choose from

It was so amazing to cook with our wunderful chef New. Thank you so much for this beautiful evening. We had a great time together.

I had the best time at the cooking class! Really really recommend, the food was yum and the vibes were even better. The PDF recipe book was a nice touch.

Had an absolutely fantastic experience! Our cooking instructor made it very enjoyable and would highly recommend it! We got to choose 5 dishes, so you can select your favourites, of what you’d like to cook back home :)

Great fun cooking class just outside historic Chiang Mai, very well organised, delicious recipes and a great teacher.

We really enjoyed our cookong class. New was a really friendly and helpful guide. Didn't feel rushed whilst eating and ate after every course which felt good. Overall great class, would recommend to all.

It was Christmas day when we joined the cooking class with Galangal Cooking Studio – what is better to cook your Christmas dinner yourself? As a family of three, including our 9-year-old daughter, we started with a visit to a local market to learn about unique local ingredients—an enjoyable and educational start to the class. The cooking studio was well-equipped, and our tutor, Ah Wen, was incredible. She’s the best tutor we’ve ever had (even compared to classes in Spain and Italy)! Ah Wen is skilled, knowledgeable, and amazing at managing timing, guiding us to cook multiple dishes at a perfect pace. She’s also very patient, detailed, and excellent at teaching kids. The 3+ hours flew by, and the dishes we made were so delicious that we could hardly believe we cooked them ourselves! I highly recommend this class, especially Ah Wen’s Chinese-speaking session—it’s an unforgettable experience!

This was our final activity in Thailand, and it certainly lived up to our expectations. Our instructor, New (yes, that’s her name—she jokes about it being "old" and not "new"). Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and seated while waiting for the rest of the group. Once everyone had arrived, we took a brief trip to the local market to gain insight into where and how the ingredients are sourced. After that, we returned to the studio, donned our aprons, and began the step-by-step process of preparing four dishes of our choosing, which we selected through a link sent by New that morning. You can also purchase beers on-site at a reasonable price compared to other restaurants. It was a delightful experience mingling with people from all over the world, and no prior cooking experience is necessary to join the class. After cooking each dish, we sat down to enjoy it before moving on to the next one. Overall, it was a fun evening filled with great food and New's expert guidance—definitely an experience you won't want to miss!

The market trip was super educational ! We absolutely loved the hands on cooking class. The food was amazing and the instructor sooooo good! My two young adult sons even said this was one of their trip highlights! 110% recommend!

Friendly, fun and super easy! Everyone worked really hard to make sure we had a smooth experience. Would definitely recommend.

This was THE BEST cooking class ever! New, who is the instructor, was amazing. So friendly & knows her stuff. Can’t wait to do another class when I come back to Chiang Mai, to try some more dishes. If you’re thinking about booking, DO IT! You won’t regret it & the food is soooo good, I left feeling like I was going to burst haha 😍

This was an excellent experience! We especially loved that we could preorder our pesonalised preferred dishes to learn to make, and then made them 'as you like it' - as spicy or mild as we enjoy eating! 😋 We participated as 4 adults in a group of about 10 people and the class was extremely well organised. There is a great combination of cultural learning, ingredient education and technique development throughout this class. Aoy is a skilled educator, injecting lots of humor along the way! It was like participating in a well choreographed dance, as Aoy directed each of our groups along the process of progressing our meals, despite the many variations being simultaneously prepared. Poetry in motion! 😁 Aoy is ably assisted by a fabulous team of 'fairy godmothers' who unobtrusively clean and tidy everything while you are cooking and instantly procure anything you need! ✨️We left this class with a 'warm inner glow' - full tummies and a wonderful sense of having achieved great things! We eagerly look forward to preparing our dishes for friends and family back home. This was a highlight of our three week trip in Thailand and we couldn't recommend it highly enough!

We had the best time at Galangal Cooking Studio! New was our instructor and she was awesome! Very funny and very knowledgeable. The cooking class was a lot of fun and the food was the best we had in Thailand! Highly recommend this tour.

The cooking class was great fun! you make a big range of thai food and can choose what you make. Aoy was absolutely lovely and really helpful she has an amazing buisness and is absolutely hilarious!

Amazing cooking class with a trip to the local market. 4 delicious courses with the option to buy beers and soft drinks. 100% recommend.

We had an amazing experience, and we learned alot. Thank you New for a great time. She really took the time to explain to us and teach us. Definitely recommend!

The cooking class was incredible! Starting with a tour of the market to see the fresh ingredients we’d be using was such a great touch and added a whole new level of appreciation for the dishes we were about to create. One of the highlights for me was definitely making Tom Yum soup—such a fun and flavorful experience. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and very supportive, making the whole class feel welcoming and enjoyable. I can’t wait to recreate these recipes at home! Let me know if you’d like any further tweaks or additions.

Amazing food and well worth the visit. The massaman curry was unbelievable! New was a great host and the evening ran very smoothly.

Great class! From going into the market where the ingredients are bought to cooking the many dishes we got to try! Very clean and professional!! And with the warmth of the Thai smile! Thank you!

Had a fabulous few hours going to the food market and then the actual cooking school. Brilliant introduction to Thai cooking. Great explanations and guidance during the cooking from New our instructor.Plenty of time to enjoy what we cooked and chat with other participants. Can’t wait for my husband to start cooking !! Would highly recommend as a fun experience.

The whole experience was great ! The operator, New, was really well organized and she had each person with each dish prepping and cooking seamlessly. The food choices were awesome and I left full and satisfied. Well done, New !!

I genuinely couldn't have asked for more! I had the BEST time. Our lovely cook New was so amazing and helpful, the whole experience was just so much fun and the food was delicious. You get to pick what you would like to cook and there's a lot of food, so you're spoilt for choice. Definitely would recommend and definitely would go back again ❤️

Super fun cooking experience. Visited the local market and was taught about the local foods. Great atmosphere. Everything tasted amazing.

Such a fun and interesting experience! Learned so much about cooking and the thai cuisine and the dishes were phenomenal, would book it again in an instance!

A most enjoyable evening with Neew teaching us Thai Cooking. Neew is a fantastic teacher and making it a fun evening cooking then eating our prepared meals. Very clean cooking studio and facilities ! A must do when in Chiang Mai

We had the best night cooking with New. She brought us to a local market where we were the only tourists to show us the fresh ingredients we would be cooking with. Then, we went to the cooking school and began cooking! We were worried our food wouldn’t taste as good as the food we’ve eaten in Thailand but the food we cooked in this class was delicious and New made the class so fun! We can’t wait to cook the recipes we got at home!

New lead an amazing cooking class! First, New took us to the market to see all the ingredients we’d be using. Then, New made the cooking fun and easy, and the food turned out amazing! New was so kind, and we loved the class. We can’t wait to cook what we learned in the class at home!
