Signature Thai Cooking Course

Mam is an excellent instructor, very nice and patient. She provided an extensive knowledge of the produce & spices at a local market and even taught us how to adjust the flavors according to our tastes. The meals we learned how to make tasted so much better than any meal we’ve had any of the restaurants in Chiang Mai. I highly recommend you take a cooking course here if you love Thai cusine.

We had a lot of fun and felt really welcome. Mam (the teacher) is really nice and knows her stuff. We learned a lot and would definitely recommend this course.

What an amazing experience. A highlight of my trip to Chiang Mai. Mam's class was really informative and fun. Mam took us around the market and showed us many new things. The cooking area was beautiful and well organized. Mam is an excellent teacher and she guides you through everything step by step with charm, humour and discipline. The range of dishes we cooked was incredible too. It was a lovely and relaxing atmosphere to learn, cook and eat! I loved it and would do it again!

A fun and delicious experience. My husband and I made a spontaneous decision to take a cooking class together while in Chiang Mai. We chose We Cook because of the convenient time, 4- 9 pm class. We were picked up at our hotel, brought to a market to buy fresh ingredients for the meals; what an explosion of the senses, beautiful colors, smells, sounds and taste. Our teacher, Mam ‘s English is very good and was able to answer any question. We cooked, traditional dishes; papaya salad, spring rolls, stir fry, green curry , soup and traditional desserts. We ate in a beautiful setting outside under a large veranda. A fun Thai experience. Thank you Mam !

Such a happy and beautiful person,l. Taught us lots about the ingredients and then the cookery teaching was fantastic and relaxed. Would highly recommend as a great experience that’s not too serious.

If you are thinking about doing a cooking class definitely book a session with We Cook Thai HomeGarden Cooking School! You will get to experience a wonderful time where you experience how to cook authentic Thai cuisine! My instructor Mam is such a sweet and patient person and answered all my questions (which were many) with a smile on her face! Our tour started with pickup from my hotel, a tour of a local market where I was shown and learned about the ingredients we were going to be using as pointing out local cuisine from the food stands. We then went to her home where I cooked a 5 course meal, got to eat it and then had enough to take home for the next day! After finishing eating she took me back to my hotel, making it one of my favorite experiences in Chiang Mai! I would recommend for any solo travelers who want to learn how to cook authentic Thai food, have a fun time with a sweet instructor and get your pictures taken while enjoying some delicious food!

Mam was fabulous! Her attention to educating us on the local ingredients and to the traditional Thai flavors was superb. A true highlight for us in Chiang Mai - an insider tip go in hungry, because there is so much delicious food:)

Today’s cooking class with Mam was a real highlight of our trip to Thailand. She was so friendly, welcoming and informative that I felt like I could attempt to recreate the dishes we made today at home. Everything was well prepared and explained and the food was delicious. I really enjoyed seeing the market and being introduced to some new foods. It was a lot of fun being around Mam who is a great teacher. Definitely recommend a class to fellow travellers.

Was a fantastic experience - we were collected from our hotel, experienced the markets and then taken to Mam’s kitchen. Making a paste from scratch and learning techniques was so enjoyable. We made 5 dishes and they were such generous portions. Mam is entertaining, knowledgeable and passionate. A real highlight of our time in Chiang Mai. Perfect for a raining day. A must if you have the time.

We booked the morning class, we got picked up from our hotel and headed over to a local market where Mam explained the local herbs and vegetables, she picked out the ingredients and headed to her house to cook! We picked out five different dishes each, I learned so much from the experience. I would highly recommend anyone visiting to come make a stop! The food was absolutely delicious, you will not leave hungry. Mam was very nice and answered all our questions. The place was clean and had available bathrooms! 20/10!

Mam Vikanda was very kind, warm and welcoming. It was a very good experience to cook with Mam. It was authentic, and very impressive to learn about her skills in a kitchen. Mam helped us with other good experiences for Chiang Mai. She was just super kind and helpful!

Brilliant afternoon session with Mam. We were the only two there but had a great time learning to cook Khao Soy, Green Curry, Spring Rolls and other dishes too. Mam was a great teacher and we had a great time. If you are in Chiang Mai and fancy doing a class we would highly recommend We Cook Cooking School. The recipes were emailed to us before we left and they picked you up and dropped you back at your hotel. Fantastic. Darryl & Bernie Francis, Australia

Great! Dobt eat before! There are so much food.

Such an amazing experience! I would highly recommend this cooking class. Come hungry because you will make so many delicious dishes! Whole experience was a ton of fun and very informative!

Me and my partner did mams cooking class and she was so LOVELY !! She picked us up from our hotel then took us to one of the locals markets explaining lots of foods to us. We then went and started the cooking. She was very helpful explaining exactly what to do for each dish and had everything well prepared. Mam then dropped us back at our hotel. Such a nice activity to of done, we recommend booking ☺️

We had a fantastic time with Mams cooking class in January with our family. She was super friendly and knowledgeable, the class was fun and easy to follow, and every dish was delicious. It was a great hands-on experience and one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!

Amsolutely amazing experience throughout the whole time. Not just showing us the recipes but explaining why certain methods and ingredients are used, as well as allowing us to play around when it was our turn to cook

Mam is AWESOME! We learned SO much and had THE BEST time! If you are in Chaing Mai, you definitely need to put this on your list for things to do. Mom took us to the local market, pointed out things we had never seen, and taught us about different vegetables and spices we are not used to seeing in the United States. She even took us to get some wine and beer to eat with ouf dinner. It was fun and eye opening. She took us to her home, which is an outdoor kitchen complete with a larger table around a beautiful coy pond aquarium, and additional cooking area. She made cookng fun and a bit crazy. We all had a great time; she made it seems easy; and the food was delicious. I would definitely recommend cooking with Mam!

We are so glad we came here! It felt so authentic and was great fun to learn how to cook the meals. Mam is incredible, she explained everything so well and she is so fun to chat to.

Mam was a great teacher and gave us an incredible experience. The food was amazing and I would recommend to anyone visiting Chiang Mai.

This cooking class was fantastic! Mam was super friendly and made the experience memorable. The dishes tasted exceptional. Highly recommended!

Mam was a very lovely instructor. First off she took us to a market and talked us through all the herbs, spices, noodles and vegetables we would be using as we filled up our shopping baskets. Once back at Mam cooking kitchen we began under Mam’s step by step instruction to create our choices. You will certainly not come away hungry. We did it as a family and had a great time. We highly recommend and thank you Mam for an amazing culinary adventure 😍

We had a wonderful time at this cooking class. The session was informative and we learned new techniques that we can’t wait to try at home. The dishes we made were delicious and everything was explained in a clear, easy - to - follow way. Our host Mam was very friendly and created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that made the experience even better.

We had the best time with Mam at her home kitchen cooking traditional Thai dishes! She came and picked us up, then went to the market to pick up the ingredients, and went to the kitchen to cook lots of dishes and sat down to eat in the lovely outdoor garden area. I'd 10/10 recommend, Mam was so friendly and fun it was a great day!

Highly recommended! Cooking with Mam was one of the highlights of our trip through Thailand. We started with a visit to the local market, where Mam explained all about the fresh Thai ingredients, and then prepared a delicious 5-course meal together. Everything was well organized, fun, and easy to follow. Mam is warm, knowledgeable, and makes everyone feel at home. Go on an empty stomach — you’ll be eating plenty!

I loved this class! Mam is super friendly and she teached us to cook all the recipes while explaining each ingredient. Just perfect! I trully recommend this activity if you visit Chiang Mai.

this was one of our highlights of our holiday, was really enjoyable and very delicious.....Mam has built a great kitchen / location to cook and sit together

Hello, We had a wonderful experience during this cooking class. The service was perfect; we were picked up from our hotel and drove together to a local market! Mom even memorized our names, as she found them so difficult! How cute is that! The market was super fun, as these markets are full of locals and you hardly encounter any tourists! At the market, we received a lot of explanation about the different vegetables, fruits, herbs, and other ingredients you'll need during the cooking class. We then went to Mom Vikanda's house, where she had everything perfectly organized. First, we were given some drinks, and she prepared everything. Then we could get started. We had a few dishes, and it was super fun! We were a small group of four people. The other couple happened to be from the Netherlands, which was great! At the end, we received a diploma signed with our names! We chatted with Mom for a bit, and then she politely drove us back to our hotel! We received the recipes in our inbox the very next day, so that was fantastic! A super fun experience, and I definitely recommend it, especially Mom! Lots of laughter, singing, and chatting! Thanks Mom for this unforgettable experience! Sincerely, Stijn and Nynke

Mam's Thai cooking class was so much more than what I expected. Mam is a wonderful host and was so knowledgeable on the subject of thai cooking. We visited the local market which by itself was worth the tour. After buying fresh ingredients we went to her home which had an outdoor covered kitchen and eatery. She was so patient and she guided me thru the actual preparation of the 6 different dishes. You won't find a better class to take!

This was such an amazing experience I definitely recommend. Mam was an excellent teacher! So knowledgeable and helpful. I was really proud of the food I Mande and learnt a lot too!

Our teacher picked us up at the Hotel. We were a small group of 4 people. First we bought ingredients on a Market. Mam explained all the different vegetables, fruits etc. We could smell, see and touch. After that we drove to her cooking school, situated in a lovely garden. There we cooked several dishes. Everything was well prepared, the atmosphere was relaxed and the food wonderful. We had a great time and learned a lot.

Highly recommended! Mam picked us up from the hotel and showed us a local market and explained lots of things. Afterwards we went to her beautiful outdoor kitchen and cooked great dishes under excellent guidance. It was great fun and everything was prepared really professionally. There were only two of us and we really enjoyed it, every question was answered. One of us is vegetarian and there was always an alternative to meat / fish!

Mam was absolutly amazing! We loved every moment. The market was great and she spoke english so so so good! The food was great and she explained everything we needed to know and was open for questions! Overal perfection!

Absolutely amazing cooking school. Food was absolutely delicious and Mam was great at teaching us what went into each dish. Everything was prepared for us so it was very easy to cook. Highly recommend this!

Fantastic event. Real thai cooking, much fun and a super experience. I remember very often and can suggest everybody to do it.

We Cook - Thai Home Garden is an absolutely fantastic cooking school in Chiang Mai! Mam is an amazing teacher—full of passion, patience, and positive energy. The class starts with a visit to a local market, where Mam shares her extensive knowledge about vegetables, herbs, and ingredients used in traditional Thai cuisine. This was an incredibly valuable lesson that allowed me to better understand the authentic flavors of Thailand. The cooking itself is pure joy—everything is well-organized, and Mam guides you step by step in preparing real Thai dishes. Thanks to her, I not only learned how to cook but also gained a deeper appreciation for the culture and history of Thai cuisine. The atmosphere during the class was fantastic—I felt welcome and had an amazing time. If anyone is looking for an authentic culinary experience in Thailand, We Cook - Thai Home Garden is an absolute must-do! I highly recommend it and sincerely thank Mam for this unforgettable culinary adventure!

We could make a choice of what we want to cook before the course and were picked up directly at our hotel. Everything was well prepared and the recipes were easy to follow, and most important, tasted delicious and authentic. We also appreciate the vegetarian options. Mam also gave us some background about the local people and of the flooding a few years ago and how people had to struggle. Thank you, Mam, for this really great experience!

Great teacher who made the course fun & informative. Picked up & returned to our hotel . That was a real bonus. Visit to the market was really interesting. Thank you Mam for a memorable morning.

Mam is extremely friendly and knowledgable, she gave lots of good information about ingredients and the balancing of flavours. Following her guidance, cooking the food was easy, and the outcome was super tasty. Recipes were readily adapted for vegetarian.

Honestly SO amazing. Big highlight of my trip so far. You will not be disappointed at all. Mam is so sweet and wonderful. Amazing teacher and funny bright human to learn from. Learned so much. Thank you again!

Really great experience learning to cook traditional thai food! Mam was the best host we could have asked for, really sweet and patient - And last but not least, the surroundings were really nice as well 😁 Would recommend everyone to try this class if you want to learn how to cook like a real thai :)

My son and I had a really good time. Mom has a great energy, knows how to take care of everyone, has proper cook tips to help find the balance taste. The place is well equipped and clean. All the meals were very tasty and I did receive my cook book with all the recipes by email, as promised. Thank you Mom!

The host was so lovely and active in explanations and conversations. Very well organized, I got picked up from my hostel before going to the market with the rest of the group. We got our fresh ingredients followed with many interesting informations about the different things you can find at the food market, which made the experience so full of culture. You get a choice in what you want to cook and can make everything as sweet, sour and spicy as you’d like! The outdoor cooking and setting is beautiful too. I highly recommend this unique experience. Be ready for a food coma and don’t plan too much with the rest of the day as you will be full of delicious self made dishes 😆

Best cooking class i have ever been to! It was so interesting and inspiring. Mam told us about all the ingredients and let us smell them before putting them in our food. Every thing amazed me even the part where we went to the market to buy our ingredients! So good.

It was so fun to go purchase the food at the market and learn about foods that we have never seen. She knew her ingredients and selected quality ones. She was kind to come and pick us up. Her facility is beautiful. It is super fun that it is at her home. There was plenty of space for us! It was nice that each one of us got to choose our own menu items. It is a lot of food so come hungry! We had a lot of fun and would highly recommend! Thanks Mam!!!

The course was amazing. Do it! Everything was perfect. The chef is very clear and entertaining . The food was delicious, go with an empty stomach because you eat a lot

If you ever stop in Chiang Mai when visiting Thailand, this is certainly a perfect activity if you want to live an immersive experience of the Thai culture. Not only you get to learn how to cook traditional Thai dishes but you also get to taste them! After a quick visit to the local market in order to grab all of the necessary ingredients, you will be welcomed in the We Cook cooking school which is located right next to the chefs house. The chef Mam was incredible as she walked us through the recipes form start to finish and explained thoroughly every step while teaching us more about the Thai culture and cuisine. It was a great experience!

Mam is woderful, as wonderful is her cooking class. We have been able to choose the dishes, but the ingredienti at the market and prepare them following her instructions. All very good and we ate also what we cooked. A homemade atmosphare, excellent cooking experience.

The best cooking class in thailand, with the most amazing chef. Great experience (even though I was hangover…) and a lovely host. 10/10
