Pea is amazing and her class is a must! - This was one of the best cooking classes I have attended. Not only did Pea teach us how to make delicious Thai food, she taught us the necessary elements and encouraged us to make them our own. Everyone in my family had a different flavor to their dish catered to their taste. Pea was also very patient with my six year old and helped him every step of the way. This class is amazing and if you want to take a cooking class in Chiang Mai this is the one.

Private cooking experience with Pea - We had a wonderful experience visiting Pea and learning about the history of Thai dishes and then making/enjoying our own meal. Pea is a gracious, welcoming host. We really appreciate her sharing her time and expertise with us. I highly recommend her private cooking experience.

Intimate Cooking Experience With Amazing Host - We had an amazing evening with Pea learning about traditional Thai cooking in her beautiful home. Pea coordinated everything for use, picked us at our hotel, and brought us to her home for an intimate cooking experience for my wife and me. She taught us the ins and outs of Thai cooking and essentially remained hands off and allowed us to get our hands dirty with the cooking! This is a great experience for people looking for an intimate cooking experience to learn about traditional Thai cuisine, and would recommend this to anyone!

Entertaining and Inspiring Evening - We did the full private cooking class with Pea and absolutely loved it! Jah, Pea's son, pick us up from our hotel and took us to visit a local market. He was super nice and answered all of our questions, as well helped with recommendations with planning our days in Chaing Mai. Their home is just outside of the city and is super cute. Pea greatest us with smiles and was very entertaining throughout the night. She walked us through her garden and tried some of her herbs and vegetables she was growing. We prepared and cooked a papaya salad, meet salad, green curry (this was our favourite!) and holy basil stir fry. Also Pea made us a sweet childhood snack that was simple and delicious. 10/10 would recommend to my family and friends to do a cooking class with Pea, it was the highlight from our trip!

Amazing cooking class, incredible hospitality, highly recommended! - We cannot recommend this experience more. It was so incredible to see a part of Chiang Mai that was off the beaten track, and to learn how to cook incredible Thai food (but with easy tips so we can replicate at home). But most of all, Pea’s hospitality is unmatched. She made us feel at home as she shared her stories and cooking skills with us. We cannot stop talking about this and will absolutely go back to visit again the next time we find ourselves in Chiang Mai. If you’re in town, this cooking class experience is a must! Thank you, Pea!

Great cooking course by the most gracious host - Pea and her son were gracious and welcoming hosts who answered all of our one thousand questions with ease! We felt honored to be admitted into their stunning, sprawling home and learn so much about fresh Thai cuisine from Pea. Her garden provides fresh herbs and vegetables for the dishes prepared, and we walked out vowing to never buy Thai Curry Paste again! Thank you for a wonderful and educational experience!

Don’t skip this!!! - Don’t let the number of reviews deter you from this class!!! This cooking class was so amazing and personal. The pick up and drop off process was a breeze and pea’s son is super great and gave us great recommendations! Pea is such a great teacher and even changed the menu last minute to make my favorite dish!! Her garden is beautiful as well. We learned a lot from this class it was definitely a highlight of the trip. We had an thai snack, made a green curry, Two appetizers and drunken noodle.

Very disappointed - We booked this class through Viator. We had a receipt for payment and we had a confirmation # for the booking. We were looking forward to the class very much! It was a rainy day in Chiang Mai the day that our class was scheduled, and we were happy to have an indoor activity planned. We waited in our hotel lobby for pick-up. The ride never showed. When we contacted the woman who leads this class, she said that she knew nothing of our booking, and because she was out of town, there was nothing she could do for us. Thankfully Viator gave us a refund. Because no one ever got back to us as to how our booking was lost, or whose fault it was, I, unfortunately, cannot recommend this class.
