Cook six Thai dishes, visit a local market and organic garden, and enjoy hotel pickup in this practical Chiang Mai cooking class.

“There were so many options for cooking classes in Chiang Mai, but this one still had availability when we decided to book just a couple days before. Siam Garden was easy to communicate with and quick to respond, organized, and efficient. They really have a great system going! Despite the very large group, their instructions were clear and easy to follow. I loved that we were able to cook so many different courses and that we were able to choose between a number of options for each course. This ended up being a highlight of our family trip, we'd highly recommend!”
