I chose this school base on reviews on tripadvisor and I had a great time at Thai orchid cookery school today. They picked me up from my hotel and then we went to the local market where "A" taught us about fresh ingredients. We were a group of 6 people to 1 instructor, which was amazing because I saw other...

This was the highlight of our trip to Chiang Mai. Kong first brings you round the local market explaining local ingredients. You then pick from three options for each course to cook with a total of 5 courses . A demonstration is done for each and then you do it yourself. It is extremely hands on and you get to... More

My friends and I booked the full day course at Thai orchid cookery school and we loved it. A and Kong were fantastic and spoke very clear English. We were impressed by classroom set up with a huge overhead mirror like on professional cooking show. One of the best parts was they took us to the local market to learn... More

My friend and I did an evening class at Thai Orchid when we in Chiang Mai. It was just two of us which really gave it the personal touch. We cook 5 dishes and the instructions are easy to follow so all turned out brilliant. Thank you so much for a great evening!

This was my favorite experienced during my Thailand trip. All the reviews are correct. A and Kong are amazing, knowledgeable, funny and they are great teachers for people of all ages. They encourage you to make your food as spicy as you like and suggest alternatives for you when you get back home. The trip to the market was a... More

My husband and I took this cooking class while in Chiang Mai. There is a choice of 3 dishes for each course, so you end up cooking 5 dishes each. We both chose different dishes so that we could sample 10 different dishes, and they were all amazing. We chose this class as there was a big choice of dishes... More

We (family of 4) opted for the morning course so we got to choose our own dishes. First we visited a market and learned a lot about the ingredients used. Afterwards it was just a short drive to the school which is actually located at a house (Google maps indicates a location far away from Chiang Mai but this is... More

This is a really good introductory course for beginners to Thai cuisine. You learn a good deal about the five dishes with clear instructions and guidance. The facilities are excellent and you are given a very solid grounding in some of the basic principles needed to cook good Thai food. It is also good that the classes are kept small.... More
