★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 19,087 reviews · from $29Our pick

Learn to cook Thai food from scratch at an organic farm near Chiang Mai, with a market visit, hotel transfers, and vegan options.

“We had Cici as our tour guide and she was really sweet and great at instructing us! I thought the visit to the market wasn’t really necessary but maybe they get discounted ingredients if they take us there. You make a TON of food that I couldn’t even finish. I loved that we got to pick what we wanted to cook and they were super organized on who was cooking what and what ingredients people needed. Despite us being a group of like 12, she helped each one of us and carefully walked us through each part! I definitely recommend!”
