30/1/2026 0 Comments Thai Cooking Class in Chiang Mai | Pad Kaphrao! Demonstration – 29 January 2026Pad Kaphrao! Cooking Demonstration During a Thai Cooking Class in Chiang MaiSome lessons are remembered as much for the laughter as the cooking. This short video is from my Thai cooking class in Chiang Mai on 29 January 2026. I had one student take the lead at the stove while I talked the rest of the group through what was happening, turning him into the unexpected super star of the moment in front of 18 other students. When the fresh chilies went into the pan, the heat filled the space almost instantly. What followed was a lot of coughing, a lot of laughter, and a very real reminder of what cooking Pad Kaphrao is actually like. © 2026 Thai Secret Cooking School, Chiang Mai, Thailand.

This class brought together a full group, with a mix of menus and
plenty of shared moments in the kitchen. 
A teaching moment from my Thai cooking class in Chiang Mai.
This was a larger 16-person class, and these two guests were the only half-menu students that day. I always make time for everyone, adjusting the class so each guest gets personal guidance, no matter the group size. By the end, there were a few confident smiles and some very ambitious chef jokes.
