Best farm to table cooking class in Chiang Mai - We booked our trip through getYourGuide, which included the Thai cooking class with local market in the morning and the sticky waterfall in the afternoon. The chef picked us up at our hotel and was very excited and enthusiastic at the market and we were the only two that participated that day so we got a private course. Pon’tastic was the chef who was amazing at explaining the different things at the market as well as the cooking class which included seven courses was definitely a highlight of our trip and I would give it five stars for the friendly atmosphere the amazing food in the authentic nature of what they offered. Seeing the ingredients at the farm as well as the different ingredients in the market was truly amazing. However, the chef could make or break your experience so I would suggest this tour over all the other others that are available.

Wonderful cooking lesson! - We had a great time with the teacher. We started on the market to see the fresh food and bought some vegetables there. After we did a tour in the garden to collect some fresh herbs. What a wonderful place and experience. Then we started cooking. In a relax tempo we learned the techniques of cooking with a wok. One of my favorites was the Khao Soi, and we made some other ones! The guy was very friendly and…. funny.

The best cooking class! - It was even better than my expectations which I would consider quite high alread. It was probably one of the best things I ever did. It was fun, the chef is funny and we learned so much. He also speaks perfect English so communication is great. I wanted to learn spring rolls but they weren't on the half day food list so we got to make them extra anyway which I appreciate so much! The setting was peaceful but lively in a way. The surroundings are very peaceful (rice fields/from) but the experience with the group and our chef just made it so much fun! I booked over my hostel and as far as I can tell the cost is reasonable in comparison to others. I know that for me it was worth every cent. There were other solo travelers and couples/friends so it was easy to connect with other people. I liked the morning class because it was still cooler out when we went to the market and the farm. The cooking itself is outdoors but in a big pavillion-style building. If I could I would do a full day class. It just wasn't possible at the time. We also got to do a stir fry with the fire in the pan which was so much fun (it was also optional), you could also do your stir fry without the fire inside the pan. Overall this was an amazing experience and I would definitely do it again!! The food was absolutely amazing and we also got to try some food from the masterclass that was cooking all morning next to us.

Very fun thai cooking clads - We were picked up from the hotel on time. The driver is also the chef, owner and teacher. He is a very fun guy, explains very good and shows many things, including market tour to learn about local ingredients and many different local dishes. Overall a very good experience and really worth your time!

Great time and good food - We had a great time at this class! Chef Poon was very engaging and spent a long time at the market explaining all the ingredients. The cooking part of the class was very fun and easy; it was nice to be able to watch him demonstrate and then try for ourselves. All of the food was delicious. We would definitely recommend the half-day program!
