The 15 Best Cooking Classes in Thailand

Half-Day Thai Cooking Class at Organic Farm in Chiang Mai - The organic garden gives the food a place

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 19,087 reviews · from $29Our pick

Cook five Thai food categories at an organic farm near Chiang Mai, with a market visit, hotel transfers, and vegan options.

“This is a great solo, family or group experience. The half day session starts at the market with an explanation of Thai spices and veggies. From the market to the farm is a 30+ min. car ride. The farm and kitchen setting is exceptionally well set-up and organized. They can handle multiple groups simultaneously but each group has it's own dedicated chef/guide. Our chef/guide was K and he was amazing. We had fun selecting our meals, cooking and eating together. A great experience!”
