Thai Farm Cooking School

Thai Farm Cooking School

LEARN TO COOK THAI FOOD AT OUR THAI ORGANIC FARM COOKING SCHOOL IN CHIANG MAI, PICK FRESH INGREDIENTS AND COOK HEALTHY FOOD EVERY DAY!

Escape from the bustling city for a day. Come for a Thai cooking class in Chiang Mai and learn how to prepare and cook a Thai meal while enjoying the relaxing non-touristy countryside. On the way to the farm we will stop at a local market for a brief tour. Our school is approximately 17 kms from Chiang Mai city. Upon arrival we will take you around our organic farm.

You will be able to see many different kinds of organic herbs, vegetables and fruits that we proudly grow ourselves. You will be given the opportunity to pick some of the fresh ingredients that you will use while preparing your favorite dishes in one of our spacious well equipped kitchens. Each person will have his/her own cooking station. Finally, enjoy eating your meal on the terrace overlooking the fishpond where you will have a splendid view of the entire farm as well as the lush nearby mountains.

YOU WILL LEARN MORE THAN COOKING!

When you partake in a cooking course at the Thai Farm Cooking School in Chiang Mai, you will learn everything about Thai cooking, but you will also definitely see how a Thai family with many years of experience and resourcefulness creates a self-sufficient and independent farm. We know that your time with us will go well beyond a kitchen setting. It’s a truly unique experience raised on a labor of love and much hard work.

What makes us different to other cooking schools?

* We provide each class with their own kitchen (no mixing with other classes in the same kitchen) so you will be able to enjoy and learn in a peaceful environment

* You will make the curry paste of your choice in your own individual mortar. You will not have to take turns or share one mortar per group. Make your curry paste to suit your own taste and choose how spicy you would like to make it.

* You will make every step of every dish completely by yourself from start to finish. For example, you will make your own spring roll filling in your individual wok instead of watching others making it for you.

* Thai Farm Cooking School was created by a family who combined their passions for organic farming and Thai cooking into a unique experience and became the original and first Thai cooking school at a true organic farm since 2001

* Whether you choose to take a full day or half day class, dessert is always on the menu for you to learn!

* Before the cooking class, we will stop at a large non-touristy local market out of the city center, Ruamchook market (not the small city Somphet market where most of the cooking schools go).

* After the cooking class, you will receive our full color digital e-recipe book with pictures and photo instructions that you can scan after the class and keep on your smart phone or download to use at home.
