Highly recommend to everyone!

Brilliant experience, would recommend to anyone wanting to learn more about Thai cuisine. The guides were so friendly and personable, they lead us through the market and showed us popular Thai foods as well as local dishes found only in Chiang Mai. The cooking was set out well - clear and personalised instructions, good pacing when prepping ingredients and cooking, demonstrations from the guide, and breaks inbetween each section to sit and eat your dishes. I am an average cook but the food I created came out looking professional! Highly recommend.
