Where can I start? My friend and I took the half day cooking class and from the moment he picked us up at our hotel. We then went on to the market where he was so informative about some of the vegetables. Mr. Arm was such a kind, gentle fun. Guide/ chef teacher. The cooking class itself and the environment it's is surrounding. It is absolutely magnificent. There's a lake of lotus hanging flowers, arches of trees, even a few children. It is so beautiful. So peaceful and our class was so much fun. There was several males in my group that their wives drug them there and they then looked at their wives and said thank you very much. We had a blast. Do not hesitate to take this class. As a matter of fact, take several. You will not go wrong. What a great great class!

Right from the beginning we were warmly greeted and given a tour of the organic garden. We then selected from a menu, choices we would cook (soup, main and stir fry). Little experience of Thai cooking, but this course takes you through simple, easy to understand stages and gently coaches you in the correct techniques. What you make tastes amazing (Did I really cook that?!). You take home a little cookbook to try recipes for yourself and the feeling that you can certainly cook these. Fantastic time! Thank-you!

No lie, the best Thai food we have had on our trip so far (we have been here 4 days - we ate at House of Ginger and the Four Seasons restaurant Khao, the street market food was VERY good as well but we ate different dishes).
We came in, a family of 7, and Arm was super patient with us and shared detailed information about the ingredients and process. Shout out to ARM!
It is December 2022 and they just reopened for the first time since Covid 3 months ago so they could use the business, head here for a really fun experience and great food.

Highly recommend this cooking class if you are visiting Chiang Mai! The chef here had amazing English, she was very friendly and good sense of humour. I booked here as I saw they accommodated well for allergies too. I am gluten free (coeliac) and they ensured all my ingredients and dishes were gluten free.
The food was some of the best I’ve tasted and you get so much for your money. We ended up packing a lot up to take away with us due to the amount of food we got to make.
Additionally, the venue is beautiful and very picturesque!

I attending this cookery school for the second time and would even go again! I did a half day the first time and this time opted for the full day course. I would recommend the full day as it’s a bit more bang for your buck and really it doesn’t take too much longer than the half day. The instructors are great and the recipes are so so delicious. I felt like a master chef!
The organic garden is incredibly charging so you have a relaxed atmosphere for your day.

Very nice pleasant environment,with wonderful grounds,fern did a good job teaching us..and overall the food was very good especially helpful eas the souvenir book with receipts..only drawback was the lack of opportunity to spend time in the market with a guide..to explain produce..etc..tho we had time I would have preferred more time in the market with a guide

It was fun! Right from market visit to cooking. Chef Arm and his assistant Noon were great. Chef Arm not only taught us how to cook but also gave us a lesson on herbs and spices. Wish we could cook more dishes.

Before the cooking starts you go on a local Markt which is very nice and interesting. We had so much fun during the cooking class!
Very vegetarian friendly, the food we mad was amazing and a looot!
Our teacher Arm was super nice and made sure we had the best time.
Would definitely do it again!

Hi! I attended the class a couple weeks ago and I’m trying to recreate the recipes but it is hard since I live in Japan. For Tom Som soup I cannot find galanga, kaffier leaves, or the same fish sauce. Do you know if there are any substitutes that could work? Also, do you think dry ingredients could work? If so, how much?

Baby friendly? Would it be feasible for my wife and I to bring our 4 month old infant to this cooking class?

People brought their children to the cooking class, but someone would sit on a side table with the child while the other person participated in the lesson.

I reckon you can contact them or go to Chiang Mai and seek for a place where you can book it. There are several agencies.
