About the Asia Scenic Cooking Class (at Farm)

After picking you up from your guesthouse, the tour begins by with a visit to a local Thai market in the heart of Chiang Mai City. There you’ll learn about the fresh herbs and tropical produce used in Thai cooking and do a little shopping for your ingredients.

Once you’ve arrived, explore the rows of more than 20 different types of vegetables and learn about the New Theory of Agriculture and Philosophy of Sufficiency Economy from His Majesty the King. This set of principles teaches Thai people how to manage their land and what crops to grow.
