About the Asia Scenic Cooking Class in Town

This Thai cooking class will teach you everything you need to know about how to cook a variety of authentic Thai dishes from scratch. It’s not just watching, it’s doing! The friendly chef encourages you to make the food by yourself. Plus, you’ll learn special cooking skills so it’ll be fun whether you’re a beginner or an expert.

The tour begins with an entertaining but educational visit to a local market in the heart of Chiang Mai City. That’s where you’ll meet an English-speaking Thai chef who will be your cooking instructor for the day. She will teach you about the tropical fruit and vegetables that are used in traditional Thai food before she takes you to her cooking school just a few minutes’ drive away.

The cooking school is also an organic kitchen garden where you can learn more about special Thai herbs. Once you’ve arrived, enjoy a welcome snack and then put on your apron and choose a cooking station with your own wok and cooking utensils. It’s time to get messy!
