Let’s Begin Our Day

We provide round-trip transportation between downtown Chiang Mai and the cooking school.

Pickup from downtown Chiang Mai is approximately 8:00–8:30 AM.

If your hotel or guest house is outside the free downtown pickup area, our meeting point is Hotel M Chiang Mai.

Travel times vary depending on Chiang Mai traffic.

Visit a Local Thai Market in Chiang Mai

We begin your Thai cooking class with a visit to a local Thai market in Chiang Mai. At the beginning of the market tour, each student chooses the dishes for their own personal menu.

This is where we shop with local people and learn how to choose ingredients used in Thai homes and restaurants.

At this lively market, you will see and learn about Thai herbs, vegetables, curry ingredients, coconut products, rice, sauces, and other Thai cooking ingredients.

Explore My Organic Garden in Chiang Mai

My cooking school is in the San Sai district, surrounded by the rice fields and farming communities of the Chiang Mai countryside.

When we arrive at my school, you are welcomed with refreshments. We then head into my organic garden to have a little fun harvesting fresh ingredients for our day.

In my garden, you will learn about Thai herbs, vegetables, fruits, flowers, seasonal ingredients, and my vast collection of tropical trees. We gather fresh ingredients from the garden for a true garden-to-wok Thai cooking experience.

Behind the school are rice fields and the real agricultural countryside of San Sai, Chiang Mai.

Cook Your Own Personal Thai Menu

You will learn how simple it is to prepare Thai curries, stir-fries, sauces, salads, desserts, street-style dishes, and local Northern Thai food.

You choose your own dishes and prepare your food yourself with my guidance.

There is plenty of Thai food to prepare, cook, taste, and enjoy.

No experience is necessary. Just bring your smile, your appetite, and your camera.

Choose Your Class Schedule

Both schedules include the local Thai market tour, organic garden experience, transportation from the downtown pickup area, and hands-on cooking.

If your accommodation is outside the free downtown pickup area, our meeting point is Hotel M Chiang Mai.

Travel times vary depending on Chiang Mai traffic.

Payment is in Thai baht cash.

Bring the Experience Home

At the end of your class, you receive your certificate and a personal copy of my 48-page Thai Secret Cookbook, featuring my favorite recipes and colorful Thai food photography.

I hope you leave with the feeling of accomplishment and joy that comes from preparing your own Thai food.

Your certificate may even become a valid conversational starter at your next job interview 🙂
