- bonniel4640 contributionsWe cooked our own Christmas dinner!It was Christmas day when we joined the cooking class with Galangal Cooking Studio – what is better to cook your Christmas dinner yourself? As a family of three, including our 9-year-old daughter, we started with a visit to a local market to learn about unique local ingredients—an enjoyable and educational start to the class. The cooking studio was well-equipped, and our tutor, Ah Wen, was incredible. She’s the best tutor we’ve ever had (even compared to classes in Spain and Italy)! Ah Wen is skilled, knowledgeable, and amazing at managing timing, guiding us to cook multiple dishes at a perfect pace. She’s also very patient, detailed, and excellent at teaching kids. The 3+ hours flew by, and the dishes we made were so delicious that we could hardly believe we cooked them ourselves! I highly recommend this class, especially Ah Wen’s Chinese-speaking session—it’s an unforgettable experience!Written December 30, 2024
- Cruiser048375085720 contributionsIf you are looking for something different this is something you want to tryThis was our final activity in Thailand, and it certainly lived up to our expectations. Our instructor, New (yes, that’s her name—she jokes about it being "old" and not "new"). Upon arrival, we were warmly greeted and seated while waiting for the rest of the group. Once everyone had arrived, we took a brief trip to the local market to gain insight into where and how the ingredients are sourced. After that, we returned to the studio, donned our aprons, and began the step-by-step process of preparing four dishes of our choosing, which we selected through a link sent by New that morning. You can also purchase beers on-site at a reasonable price compared to other restaurants. It was a delightful experience mingling with people from all over the world, and no prior cooking experience is necessary to join the class. After cooking each dish, we sat down to enjoy it before moving on to the next one. Overall, it was a fun evening filled with great food and New's expert guidance—definitely an experience you won't want to miss!Written December 28, 2024
- chaninb20240 contributionsAn Unforgettable Culinary Adventure!The market trip was super educational ! We absolutely loved the hands on cooking class. The food was amazing and the instructor sooooo good! My two young adult sons even said this was one of their trip highlights! 110% recommend!Written December 27, 2024
- O9956RGkatiel0 contributionsFun and friendlyFriendly, fun and super easy! Everyone worked really hard to make sure we had a smooth experience. Would definitely recommend.Written December 25, 2024
- rikkellt0 contributionsBEST EXPERIENCE EVER!!!This was THE BEST cooking class ever! New, who is the instructor, was amazing. So friendly & knows her stuff. Can’t wait to do another class when I come back to Chiang Mai, to try some more dishes. If you’re thinking about booking, DO IT! You won’t regret it & the food is soooo good, I left feeling like I was going to burst haha 😍Written December 12, 2024
- bronwynl7220 contributionsFun, 'as you like it' cooking class by experienced educatorThis was an excellent experience! We especially loved that we could preorder our pesonalised preferred dishes to learn to make, and then made them 'as you like it' - as spicy or mild as we enjoy eating! 😋 We participated as 4 adults in a group of about 10 people and the class was extremely well organised. There is a great combination of cultural learning, ingredient education and technique development throughout this class. Aoy is a skilled educator, injecting lots of humor along the way! It was like participating in a well choreographed dance, as Aoy directed each of our groups along the process of progressing our meals, despite the many variations being simultaneously prepared. Poetry in motion! 😁 Aoy is ably assisted by a fabulous team of 'fairy godmothers' who unobtrusively clean and tidy everything while you are cooking and instantly procure anything you need! ✨️We left this class with a 'warm inner glow' - full tummies and a wonderful sense of having achieved great things! We eagerly look forward to preparing our dishes for friends and family back home. This was a highlight of our three week trip in Thailand and we couldn't recommend it highly enough!Written November 29, 2024

While in Chiang Mai, my husband and I booked a private class at Galangal Cooking Studio. Aoy picked us up from our hotel and we went to a local market to pick up all of the ingredients we needed and learned about what to use. From there we went to the studio, which is beautiful! Very clean and homey feeling. We made 5 meals from scratch each. My husband and I both chose different dishes so we had 10 different dishes to eat. We made everything with Aoy’s guidance and had such a fun day. The food was amazing. The best food we ate on our entire trip in Thailand. I would highly recommend a private class because it was very intimate. However I’m sure a public class is just as enjoyable. After our class Aoy sent us a digital cooking book with a bunch of recipes which I’m so excited to try some when we return home. We would visit again for sure the next time we are in Thailand.

For anyone interested in how to prepare authentic Thai dishes, I strongly recommend taking a course at the Galangal cooking studio. Accessible and professional at the same time, the teachers will talk you through the process of preparing five different dishes. You will learn about ingredients, cooking techniques and seasonings. The approach is very hands-on, with an individual cooking station for every student. All staff members are very welcoming, the studio pristinely clean and the dishes are exceptionally flavourful. The added bonus is the fact that you can choose which dishes you'd like to prepare from a menu subdivided in categories, so there's definitely something to cater to anyone's preferences. I had an amazing experience and will definitely recreate the dishes at home.

That morning cooking course at Galangal has really been a wonderful experience : getting around in the local fresh market after the selection of the dishes we wanted to prepare, fantastic and competent explanations from New, fun during the preparation of the dishes, with good humour from New whose mastering of English is wonderful, and a lot of advices, testing, correcting what we were doing. Good organization, clean place, very clear instructions. Each of us prepared one curry paste and 5 recipes. Everything was wonderfully delicious. As we could not eat everything, New provided us with adhoc containers to take away what was left, which provided for the evening meal. A wonderful experience which we can only heartily recommend : fun + useful cooking experience to take away home. Thanks to New for the good time during the course. Thanks Galangal. If you want a really excellent course of thai cooking, go to Galangal.

We had a great morning experience being taught how to cook some famous Thai dishes like massaman curry, red curry, tom kha kai, spring rolls and fried bananas. Full of flavor and great instruction from our teacher Aoy.
Afterwards we enjoyed our own prepared (delicious!) food. We enjoyed every single part of it and highly recommend this cooking course to everyone visiting Chiang Mai!

This class was amazing. Our instructor (New) was so informative and helpful, talking us through all the ingredients and steps to make the dishes. The class was structured in a very good way with time to eat in between before making more food so it wasn’t too overwhelming. She also sent us all the recipes following the class. This was a great morning spent in Chiang Mai and I would definitely recommend.

We had a great time going to the market and having all of the ingredients explained to us. Then we purchased all the fresh ingredients to cook with. Our teacher, New (not sure of spelling) was incredible. Everything was explained very well. I’d definitely recommend this to everyone, and take it again to make more dishes.

It was an amazing experience! Our tutors were very good at speaking English, therefore giving us enough information about the ingrediënts we used to make our dishes. The food was also exceptional, we made everything ourselves but our tutors knew exactly what it needed to make it even better. Overall i really recommend this cooking class for young and old!

I was the only one to book the class that day and still they held it just for me. They picked me up and we went to the local market where they showed and explained all the ingredients. She explained and led me through the whole cooking step by step, it was really amazing. So friendly and just great people. I would highly recommend it and would always take the class again. The food was also really good and I enjoyed the experience so much. Thank you for one of my trips highlights.
