Great experience!! Good memories with my wife. The food ingredients and cooking method explanations are excellent. Everything is professional and process-oriented. The cooking instructor's kind and fun explanations are impressive. I want to try other dishes next time.

This is the first time to experience Thai cooking. We will first take everyone to a traditional market to learn about the ingredients used in the Thai cuisine we are going to make today. I think it is suitable for children of all ages. Afterwards, we will go to a cooking school and the teacher will take everyone around. I will introduce some spices, leaves, etc. that will be used today, and then start to teach everyone how to make the dishes of their choice. You can take classes with people from all over the world to complete traditional Thai dishes. It is really special and worthwhile. The teachers in the school are also very enthusiastic. It is recommended that everyone come to Chiang Mai to experience it, it is worth it!

If the full score is 100, I will give this experience 10,000 points without hesitation, and 9,900 points are for my favorite teacher Lin! She speaks Chinese very, very well, is very patient, looks super beautiful, and teaches very, very, very carefully. I am willing to recommend mamanoi to everyone I know. When I come to Chiang Mai next time, I am very willing to experience it again!

The activity is very nice and the setting too because we are outside (in the shade). I really appreciated the fact that they give us a book with the recipes as a souvenir

It was fun to have the rare experience of actually smelling the herbs in a herb field. There was also free time in the market. You could choose what you wanted to make as a dish. It was a short course, but it was very fulfilling, as you could compare the dishes made by other people.

The course is lively and lively, and you can do it yourself. Under the guidance of the teacher, even people who don't know how to cook can easily cook Thai food without losing the original taste. It’s a course worth taking

It was my first time to experience cooking Thai food. I got to know the raw materials of Thai food. I cooked it myself, shredded it, smashed it into pieces, opened the fire and cooked it myself, stir-fried it and finished it. I enjoyed the food cooked by myself. It was a perfect experience.

I highly recommend this itinerary. At the beginning, I will take you to the market to identify the ingredients. Unexpectedly, the best meal in Chiang Mai was actually cooked by yourself. The Cp value is very high. At the end, you will be given a Thai food recipe book. The teacher I taught you all very patiently and I would like to participate again next time XD.
