There are plenty of choices of cooking schools in Chiang Mai, but the staff make Baan Thai a great way to spend a day. Reservations are available via email on the web site, and you are picked up at your hotel promptly in the morning. Following a quick orientation, you are taken for a tour of a close by market,...

Firstly, this is a home style cooking environment. Do not expect a modern restaurant kitchen with stainless steel benches etc... you won't find it here. With that said, we had a great time! The staff speak good English and a lot of fun. You're sent to cooking stations based on the dishes you want to make, so if you want... More

Well worth it... Great place to do it. Was recommend this by a friend and it didn't let us down. You have so much food so don't eat beforehand, we took a doggy bag home with us with what we didn't eat. Very warm whilst cooking but what do you expect when the weather is pitching 40 degrees C. More

We attended the evening course yesterday and had a fantastic few hours. It started with a walk to the market and then a few local snacks to try then the cooking started. There was 8 in our group but as you get to choose one from three choices for each course there ended up only being two or three cooking... More

My husband, brother and I took the cooking class Baan Thai Cookery School. The class started out with a tour to the local market where we learned about the ingredients in the Thai dishes. It was very informative. The cooking class size was a small manageable size and there was a nice choice of items to choose to make. Come... More

I was very excited about taking this cooking class and was NOT disappointed! They picked us up at our hotels to take us to the school, which is always a plus. Once there we removed our shoes which is custom. I'm ok with that however, keep that in mind for later in the review. We filled out our choices of... More

So.. what have we learned? I can now knock out Pad Thai with the pros. I also feel pretty good about soup making. Likewise, my wife knows a couple of new dishes. And we ate.. a lot! I recommend this 100% with only one warning: Wear mosquito repellant. Lots. And bring some. We were the other meal that was served... More

We had a fantastic time withthe Baan Thai Cookery School. They collected us from our Guest house, and took us back the the Cookery school to get acquainted with our Teacher/Chef's and our new class mates. We did the afternoon class, that went from 4.30pm - 8.30pm which was perfect for us. After a quick visit to the market, which... More

6 courses...by the end of it, I couldn't move! Food was so tasty/ However, its a shame that we can't find some of the ingredients locally in UK. They also provide a small receipe book, which I have used a lot. They cater very well for vegetarians as well More
