Great cooking experience - Enjoyed every moment, from being taken to the market in the morning, learning about the fresh ingredients and trying samples, to the cooking classes; lots of fans to keep us cool while the stoves are on. Very hands on very informative and funny, glad we didn’t eat breakfast so that we can leave room for the 12 dishes.

A must-do activity for food lovers in Chiang Mai - Such an amazing experience! We left with full bellies, great cooking tips, information about Thai food and Akha people. Definitely a trip highlight.

Amazing cooking experience - Ming and Joey were great hosts! We really enjoyed the Akha soup and salad, and can see ourselves making it at home. There were also multiple options to choose from, so it was nice to mix and match with friends. Definitely consider skipping breakfast, because we came out so full! The morning fresh market was also a nice addition.

Great cooking experience - Our teacher was amazing. They took us to the market and showed us all the raw ingredients we would be using in the class and got some market snacks for us to try. We really enjoyed the cooking class too and got to cook lots of different dishes. Make sure you go hungry because there's so much food to try!

Best cooking experience in Asia. Highly recommend! - This tour was highly rated and even then it still exceeded our expectations. The tour guide (Jasmine) was very kind, funny, informative, and helped us learn a lot about the culture / ingredients / flavors and of course how to cook a great meal. The market tour was a very nice touch as we got to see how the locals buy ingredients and what they look for. The cooking experience was really well done. One thing to note is you will be eating a lot of food - so make sure you come hungry! We got to select our custom meal of choice, and she even ensured she took into account all of our dietary restrictions (including allergies and preferences). We prepped and cooked each meal fresh from scratch, then sat down as a group to eat each course. An overall amazing experience with a very intimate feel (the class sizes are nice and small). Highly recommend this for all types of travelers or anyone who wants to learn about Thai culture and cooking. Thank you Thai Akha, Jasmine, and team!

High Quality & Personalized Experience - Incredible experience of shopping in the market and cooking! I loved the intimate setting with only 6 people in our class. I wanted to make sure we got the 1:1 attention. Being a vegetarian and allergic to nuts Jasmine went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care without compromising anyone else’s experience. We got to pick the dishes we wanted to make and she was able to facilitate ton ensure everyone got to learn their individual dishes!! Highly recommend if you are looking for a high quality and personalized experience!!
