タイのみならずチェンマイ料理やあいさつ、アカ族の料理や食べ物など、文化や歴史もさりげなく教えて貰えてとても楽しい教室でした。 Not only Thai cooking, but also Chiang Mai culture, greetings, Akha cuisine, and traditional foods were naturally woven into the class. We also learned bits of local culture and history along the way, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It was a truly fun and memorable class.

Amazing work. On(our chef) was amazing smiling all the time and very engaged, the food was delicious, this is must in town
Wonderfully experience never did this before , will do it again Fully equipped with everything you need
Unbelievable experience. Food was so good!! Our teacher was also so great! Would definitely recommend!! Best cooking class we have ever taken! The classroom is incredibly clean and everything is perfectly laid out for you to follow along.
This cooking class was amazing, would recommend to anyone! It was great to learn more about thai cooking, especially about the akha people and their traditions. Class was very professional and organised, easy to follow and our teacher was really funny and helpful. Food was delicious and getting to keep a recipe book was such a nice touch.
My son and daughter have this class to me as a Fathers Day gift and they and their spouses joined me and my wife in the class. Our instructor was Niti. She could not have been more kind, patient, and friendly. She knows how to keep three different couples on time and on task. We will be back for more. Best of all the dish (Khao Soi Soup) was delicious and tailorable to each person’s taste and heat (spicy) tolerance.
We absolutely loved this activity in Chiang Mai 👩🍳 We learnt a lot, the food was fantastic and we had a wonderful time. Aon was a great host and we’d highly recommend it for a great evening!
We had the best evening. The people are very friendly and the food that you make looks mouthwatering and it tastes even beter. We also loved the atmosphere!!! Really recommend it!!!
Great experience and expect to leave with a full belly. Great flavours and left wanting to cook at home. Clean, fresh and our cook was super friendly and funny !
The instructors were knowledgeable, passionate, and friendly and the food was delicious. Highly recommended! Would definitely come back!
Niti is such an amazing chef and teacher, I would love to go again! If I come back to Thailand I will for sure come here again!
This was a highlight for my trip to Chiang Mai I highly recommended this for anyone who visits here. From the point of pickup to the market and then to the class I felt very special. The I structors were very personable and knowledgeable and patient while teaching us about the ingredients and alha cooking style.
Great experience learning how to cook the Thai way and food was very delicious! Highly recommend if you're in Chiang Mai!
Amazing experience, it’s a must while in Chiang mai 😻 they were super kind and patient. The tour at the market was amazing too.
Amazing experience, not only learning how to cook but also about the culture. Was awesome going down to the local market and sourcing the ingredients there.
Lovely experience! The environment is so inviting and well organized. The teacher, Ming, gave a great tour of the market and kept the entire class engaged through all of the cooking. Worthwhile experience for learning about local cuisine and enjoying great tastes!
The class is more than you could imagine. It was such a rich and pleasant experience, all the way from the food, the setting and amazing staff. The class is very educational as well as enjoyable and a great way to meet other foodies. Recommend 10/10.
It was so fun, entertaining I learned a lot of interesting things. The food was so delicious and the vibe in the group was just perfct. I would defenitly recommend!!
The class was super informative! Learned a lot of Thai culture and the Akha people. Food was yummy and super flavorful! Would highly recommend to anyone regardless of cooking skill level!
Very good service and explaination and friendly staff. All the food was excellent taste and well organised
The host was brilliant and very warm. The course was detailed and very clear. Definetly would recommend!
Ming is amazing. So much food and laughs. I loved every second. 1-2-3-4/5/6-7-…11! My friends and I all had a great time.
Just an outstanding culinary experience. A real spread of dishes, eloquently described and simple to follow. Everything was exquisite
清迈最好的tour,超级棒的host. 我们全家度过了愉快的一天,做的每一道菜都很美味。we learned a lot about Thai cuisine from the market tour to cooking each course of meals. Very lovely environment and most friendly staff. Thanks! 非常推荐!
Great experience! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to do a cooking class in chiang Mai. All the food was very delicious
Cooking class was fun and they’re good chef. I enjoyed all the food that we cooked and they allow us to have our own spiciness of the food.
Excellent course. Very well organised and fun. The food is delicious and the instructors made it simple to learn. We have done many cooking courses in South East Asia and this one is the best we have taken.
This class goes beyond teaching standard US Thai restaurant fare. It began with a brief look at Akha culture and ended with a delicious new meal. From our kitchen in Colorado, we were transported by the scent of rich spices to the beloved little cafes of Chiang Mai. I could almost see the green cloaked mountains. The instructor was warm and funny and shared tips & tricks & shopping lists that included substitutions easily found in the US. As a beautiful bonus, we cooked a family meal with friends across the world. I plan to do this again with my extended family. Highly recommend!
My daughter and I did a zoom cookery class with Niti. Lists of Ingredients, equivalent etc were sent well in advance so that we were well prepared. We used an iPad for a wide view and a phone to get close ups of what we were doing so that Niti could advise us what to do. Niti is friendly and a great teacher and made our class great fun. Also the soup we made was delicious. I will be booking another class and would highly recommend Niti and her Akha cookery class.
We have taken classes both in-person and online. They bring a lot of joy and energy to each class, share a bit about their culture, and help you to prepare delicious food. A great experience for our whole family, including our middle-school-aged kids.
Niti is great, fun and friendly instructor , I feel like cooking with friends. Easy to follow step-by-step walk through, tips and tricks along while you cooking. Highly recommend.
Niti lead us through a Thai soup class -- she was very helpful and patient, and kept a close eye on our progress via Zoom! I will take another class from her, and when travel opens up again I hope to visit in-person in Thailand!
We did the zoom class and it was SO fun! Niti was so sweet, engaging, kind, and a wonderful teacher!
Starting from the moment that we were picked up at our house, our day at this wonderful Chiang Mai attraction was the highlight of our visit to Thailand. This was not our first time at a Chiang Mai cooking school, but it was by far the best. Niti was a joy to spend time with and her easy, relaxed and effective teaching skills combined to enhance the experience in a delightful way. Niti was also very skilled as a host and expertly engaged and connected us to the Thai culture and history. From the market place to the food prep in the appealing kitchen , to the delicious and memorable dining experience, we were captivated by the Akha Cooking School experience. One that we will always remember.
It wash a very nice group and very good and clear instructions.Food wash great. I'll do it again.Thank you.
Since we couldn' t go to Thailand due to Covid-19 situation, we had an online cooking course with some other nice Thailand lovers from the Netherlands. A great success! Our cook Niti was good, patient and sociable. The food tasted super delicious! Thank you very much Thai Akha Cooking School! Looking forward to meet you in Chiang Mai!
It was our First organized cooking class together with Khun Niti and we LOVED IT!!! She was so very helpful and waited till everyone was at the right step. Everything was clear and at the end we enjoyed a very tasty Massaman curry. Now when we have friends over, we know how to make this delicious curry so we can enjoy it in good company. Next time when we are im Chiang Mai again Akha Cooking School is the place we will visit for sure! THANKS!
Niti was our teacher and explained everything very clearly showing patience and a smile along the way. We ended up cooking a delicious Thai fish and learning about the use of certain ingredients in a whole new way!
Niti is a sweet Akha lady who is very knowledgeable in Akha food and ingredients. Great lesson, I not only get to learn about how to cook, also learn about the taste and smell of the food itself like an artist of food! It is not rocket science but how amazing simple ingredients herbs, vegetables and meats can mix and match into different taste. As Niti says same same but different.
This was a present for my partner, he really enjoyed it. The host was very friendly and the meal was great!
A friend of ours organized an On line cooking class o make Thai-Kaho Soi. There were 5 couples total and out class started at 5 pm EST USA. In Chang Mia it was 5 am! Our instructor was Niti and she was warm and attentive making sure we all had our ingredients and cooking pots utensils in order before and during the session. My husband and I had never made our own Thai food before. We made our Red Curry paste from scratch with Niti's step by step guidance. The the remainder of the dish was easy to put together. Frying some of the rice noodles was a challenge on our part, but we figured it out by the 2nd batch. It was a fun and entertaining evening with our friends. Niti was gracious enough to let us keep the zoom link open so we could eat and talk about our cooking experience. I highly recommend Thi Akha Cooking School - on line classes.
A friend of mine hosted an online cooking class with Akha. I was so excited to join because I love cooking and I love Thai food. The experience was so professional and the food was amazing!! After that class I immediately booked 2 classes of my own. The food flavor is so good! I almost feel I just need to learn here, then I will not need to got out fir Thai food! I highly recommend this class! It’s a safe event to host with friends during the pandemic time! One of the best virtual events I’ve attended.
Fantastic class. Very easy to follow along and such a delicious outcome! Niti was such a joy, even at 5am her time.
What a fun and informative cooking class! Niti was a wonderful teacher, was patient, and friendly. Would love to do another class soon. We did thus with a group of friends and everyone had a great time. Thank you, Niti, for taking us to Thailand from the comfort of our homes!
My boyfriend and I had a great time! Niti was very friendly and did a great job coaching us through how to make the meal. And the meal was delicious! I wasn't sure if I would like a Zoom cooking class, but it exceeded expectations. I am sure to sign up for more cooking classes in the future.
I cannot imagine a better cooking class experience than the one with had with Niti and Thai Akha Cooking School. Everything was so well organized and Niti was very accommodating to us and even gave us a guide on how to make the dish gluten-free. We did the Kao Soi class and it was the highlight of our month! It was easy to do virtually, and Niti was so wonderful and informative—the food we learned to make was absolutely spectacular. We loved learning how to prepare a typical Thai dish, and learn a bit more about how to use ingredients like lemongrass and galangal. If you are thinking about booking it, just DO IT! You will not be disappointed!
Niti was an absolutely amazing instructor. Khao Soi is one of our favorite all times dishes and she helped us recreate it in our own home! Because of covid my partner and I weren't able to travel to Asia as planned, but this class gave us a little slice of what we were missing, and transported us to a part of the world we other wise wouldn't get to experience. Would 100% recommend!
I had a one-to-one zoom lesson with Niti - with me in the UK and her in Thailand. Went through the whole process of cooking Massaman curry in about 80 minutes and left with a delicious dinner for my family.
Had a fabulous time cooking with Niti. I took her online class and she walked me through each step and we had a great evening chatting and cooking together. The meal was amazing and I can't wait to try this again. 5 stars! I hope to one day travel again but until then this is a great alternative.
This online class was a great way to spend time with friends and family, would gladly do it again! Niti was so kind and a great teacher. The food cane out delicious and we’ll definitely be making it again :-)
