This was my Thai cooking class on 6 May 2026 at Thai Secret Cooking School in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We had a big happy group of 24 people. Everyone was smiling, cooking, tasting, and enjoying the day together. We started at the local market, then came back to the garden to cook in the open-air kitchen. These photos show the day very simply: the market, the garden, and the cooking stations.  Our Thai cooking class group at the local market in Chiang Mai on 6 May 2026. We began the morning at the local market in Chiang Mai. I like starting here because students can see the fresh ingredients before we cook with them. Thai herbs, vegetables, curry ingredients, chilies, coconut milk, and small market details all help make the cooking easier to understand later.

This is part of what I love about the school. It is quiet, green, and away from the busy city feeling.

I have been printing class photos for many years because I think it gives students something real to take home, not only a recipe.
Thank you to everyone who joined my Thai cooking class on 6 May 2026!

Today I enjoyed teaching a private Thai cooking class for two guests in Chiang Mai, Thailand. We spent the morning exploring fresh ingredients, learning traditional techniques, and cooking authentic Thai dishes together. While I look forward to hosting larger Thai cooking experiences with people from all over the world, private classes offer a more personal environment to connect with Thai food and its traditions.
