Evening Thai Cooking Class

This was such a great experience, would absolutely recommend it to anyone spending time in Chiang Mai! No one else had booked on our session so it was just the two of us. Aek was so attentive, lovely and helpful and he explained everything to us from the ingredients we used to the recipe and local customs. We got to choose what meals we wanted to cook and they were all delicious. Everything was well organised so we went between cooking and eating (tip: don’t have any food before going you will be so full by the end). Thank you so much to the team :))

This was truly my favorite excursion I did in Thailand! Chef Aek was a wonderful teacher. He gave our group of 9 multiple options for our four coarse dinner class, and then he taught us all at the same time but it was clear and concise and we all were able to follow along really easily. The food was incredible! Chef Aek is truly a great teacher. The location was very convenient for us in chiang mai, and Aek also provided pick up and drop off in a van that fit our group. Chef Aek took us to the market and showed us the ingredient to buy. He taught us a lot about Thai food and culture. He was also so kind and easy going even when some of us needed a lot of help and would mess up here and there. The location is also very homey and made the experience so authentic and memorabe. The space is very clean and well kept, but has an authenticity to it that cannot be replicated anywhere else. I could not recommend enough! Truly one of my favorite experiences. Me and my friends cannot stop raving about it

Truly cannot express how much we loved our time at Aromdii Cookery School! If you’re wanting to do a Thai cooking class while in Chiang Mai, this is the place! Aek is so knowledgeable and happy to share about his culture and customs around food. We all learned so much and look forward to giving his delicious recipes a a go when we return home. Thank you Aek!!

We had such a great experience at Aromdii! Aek and his wife are fantastic hosts, and we learned a lot about Thai cuisine and food culture. The dishes were delicious—some of the best we’ve had on our trip so far. We would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a smaller, more personalized cooking class experience in Chiang Mai!

Class experience. He explained everything very well. We all got to cook 5 meals of our choosing from a list (you don't all have to cook the same things, they can be different) and got to eat all the food after. It was with a small group.

The cooking class was fantastic. The teacher guided us through each step of preparing a variety of delicious Thai dishes. The food was absolutely delicious, and the hands-on experience made it even more enjoyable. Thank you for this wonderful experience. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting a genuine taste of Thailand.

The host was simply amazing, rellly kind caring and knowledgeable. We were brought into his family home and taught great ways of Thai cooking. 10/10 if you need to do anything in Chang Mai it’s this class, could not recommend enough.

We spent a lovely 4 hours cooking with AEK. It was informative and delicious!!! So much food! Amazing too that each person can choose their own menu, so several different dishes are being cooked by participants simultaneously. Aek, did a great job explaining each step. He communicates very clearly and the cooking experience was truly step by step. I highly recommend this cooking class! But do not eat breakfast / lunch before you go, you will need space for all the delicious food you cook!

We had an amazing time learning all about Thai ingredients and then how to make delicious dishes! I highly recommend this cooking class. I am vegetarian and had no trouble making vegetarian dishes. My husband is a meat eater and was able to make meat dishes with no issues. This class will work for both vegetarians and meat eaters alike! They pick you up at your hotel and take you to to the market to pick us the ingredients for your dishes. The owner will explain about all of he different ingredients in Thai cuisine and we learned a lot About the food we had been eating since we arrived in Thailand! We had a great time with everyone in our class During our evening cooking class. You will not be sorry if you choose this class!

We had a great time making many classic Thai entrees. Would highly recommend to anyone staying in Chiang Mai!

My husband and I had a great time at the Aromdii cooking school. It was very educational to first stop at the market and pick out the ingredients in person with a local. It was great seeing the ingredients transform with the proper instruction from our host. Everything we made was delicious—better than a restaurant! We left with very full hearts and bellies.

Would highly recommend! Our hosts were lovely and they’re really accommodating for vegetarians. We got picked up / dropped off at our accommodation.

This was a brilliant cooking class, our hosts were lovely and explained things clearly. They also sent a recipe book afterward! Be warned, you will eat a lot of food so go hungry!!

The market tour and cooking was valuable, fun and authentic. The food was delicious and it was so easy to make with the hosts expertise. It felt like cooking at a dinner party with friends. Thank you A!!!

The instructor was awesome and had a great sense of humor. At first didn't think a cooking class would be for me but this cooking class I loved. The food was great and the instructions were clear. There is a pretty big selection of popular thai dishes that you can choose from. The meal I cooked honestly tasted better than everything I tried in Thailand so far! This was once of my highlights in my Thailand trip. After the class was over he dropped us off. He called me about 15 minutes later telling me I forgot my water bottle. To me this was no regular water bottle it was my huge metal Yeti water bottle that I most definitely did not want to lose. He went above and beyond and dropped off my bottle at the place we were staying at. If I could I would rate this a 20/10. I highly recommend this place to everyone. If you think a cooking class is not for you I guarantee you taking this class will change your mind!

Nok amd Aek are just amazing friendly and open minded people. They took a lot of time to explain every step, for example taking us to the market first, to buy the ingredings together. We were allowed to choose 5 typical thai dishes, what was more than enough to get us full :D it tasted realld delicious and we had a lot of fun in a clean and cozy atmosphere. We would totally do it again - More than worth it. :) Greets from Cedric and Tessa!

We just got back from our afternoon and evening with Aromdii cooking school and couldn’t wait to write a review. Which, by the way, I seldom do. It was that good. They picked up our family of 5 at our hotel at 3:30 and we went straight to the market to shop for fresh ingredients, accompanied by clear instruction and just the right amount of info about the products. Then we headed back to the van for the 10 minute drive to this open air, in home small and perfect cooking school. Our kids are 11, 15 and 17 with varying interests in cooking and all three absolutely loves it. It’s a 4 course meal with 4 choices per course. You prep together and cook together with super clear, fun instruction. The best part is that you prepare a course, then eat that course so you’re not sitting for one long meal. Would recommend the Aromdii team and this culinary experience to anyone visiting Chiang Mai in a heart beat! Hopefully we’ll be back!

Thoroughly enjoyable experience! Nok and Aek are incredibly friendly and knowledgable. I had a great afternoon getting to know them whilst also learning a great deal about Thai cooking.

AMAZING experience from start to finish! I did a lot of research on which cooking school to go to in my short trip to Chiang Mai and am so happy we went with Aromdii! Aek and Nok are so sweet and their home/the school is well set up and very nicely decorated. Aek picked us up from our AirBnB then took us on a short and insightful tour at the local market. Our afternoon session had a group of 8 and each of us got to choose our own 5 course meals. I went with pad thai, hot and sour prawn soup, papaya salad, green curry, and mango sticky rice. Each dish was delicious - my favourite was the green curry because I felt accomplished making it from scratch! You can choose your spice level with each one and Aek thoughtfully guided us individually even when we had different dishes going on at the same time. To top it all off, they even provided a recipe book at the end! I can’t wait to recreate these dishes at home. Highly recommend!

My husband and I and 4 kids did the evening cooking class during our recent to Chiang Mai. It was one of the highlights of our trip! My kids got really involved in the prep and were so proud of the dishes they made. I can’t believe that let each person in the group select their own personalized menu- that was amazing. The food was delicious and we learned a lot. Highly recommend. Come hungry as we made a lot of food!

we really enjoyed our thai cooking class. the hosts were so enthusiastic about thai cooking and the atmosphere was very relaxed and informal. first we went to a local market, where we were had to chance to ask lots of questions about the local foods on sale. Then we went to the hosts home with a lovely outdoor cooking area. We made lots of different traditional thai foods (so much that we took some home with us!) and you can choose what you want to cook from a menu. the hosts were super organised and the class ran smoothly. we were impressed and would highly recommend!

I definitely underestimated cooking classes in Thailand! But I‘m glad I did it and I will definitely try more out of their recipes... I found my favourite Thai dish during the class, Khao Soi, what ever your decision may be like you will be overwhelmed by Aek’s and Nok’s family recipes! They are such a lovely caring and mellow couple. It could not have been better. I mean it by saying this was one of the best experiences in Thailand for me! Kind Regards Till&Jule We will come back one day :)

Really Nice couple runs the place. They take care of everything and all is done. First you go to the Market and than you can cook around 5 dishes! Worth your money for sure! (They pick and drop you of as well if you staying in the area of course)

The cooking class was a great way to get an insight into Thai cuisine. At first we went to the local market where we bought the ingredients for our dishes. In addition, typical Thai spices and specialties were shown and explained to us at the market. Afterwards, we would go to the kitchen, which is near the old town. We were previously allowed to choose 5 different dishes, which we then cooked. If there are two, I would recommend that both cook different dishes so that you can try more. Overall, everything was very well prepared and the recipes were explained very well so you can recook them well at home. A very big praise and thank you for the great experience to Nok and Aek.

Super, great teacher, walk in the market, 5 dishes prepared!! Super Mood!! Fully recommended! Groups are small and you have one stove per person, very rich everything

We had a lot of fun with the cooking class and can recommend it without restriction. Each of us put together our own menu, so we could try many different dishes. Afterwards we received the cookbook with all the dishes, which is great! Pickup & Dropoff worked without any problems.

We had a lot of fun, ate well and learned a lot. 5 Thai dishes and many more recipes! Highly recommended:)

We had the evening cooking class together with Aek. The whole group was picked up on time at the individual hotels and drove together to a local market. There we bought the individual ingredients and learned a lot about Thai ingredients. Then we went on to the cooking school where each cooked their 5 previously selected dishes together under the direction of Aek. Between cooking and eating, we learned a lot about Thai food culture as well as some stories from Aek’s homeland. All in all it was a super nice evening with great conversations and super delicious food. It should also be mentioned that he has taken into account each participant's individual tastes when eating. Extra tofu and extra vegan sauces were provided for vegetarians.

Cooking course was super fun really recommended! We were picked up by a super nice man, the owner. Started exploring a little mark where he showed us all things and tasted them and then went on to cookery school. We could choose in advance what we wanted to make which was handy so you knew if there was something tasty for you. The coming itself was clearly explained and you did everything yourself. In addition, it was super clean and well arranged really a nice experience so would definitely recommend this!
