Chiang Mai Thai Cooking Class with Market Tour and Organic Farm Visit at Baan Farm Thai Cooking School

Learn Thai recipes from farm to wok in a hands-on cooking class with a market tour and organic garden visit in Chiang Mai.

Getting started

Begin your morning or afternoon class with the included pick-up and drop-off service within the Chiang Mai Old City area. On arrival at Baan Farm Thai Cooking School, check in and meet your hosts before the session time listed for your selected morning or afternoon class. After a brief orientation, you head out together to the first stop of your experience.

What to expect

Local Thai market

Your experience starts with a guided local market tour where you see the ingredients that shape everyday Thai cooking. This visit helps you understand how to choose key items for the dishes you will later prepare.

Features

• During the guided local market tour with tastings, you learn how to spot fresh herbs, vegetables, and spices, and you sample seasonal fruits and Thai desserts as you walk from stall to stall.
• The market stop includes all the ingredients needed for your class later, so you do not need to bring anything for the Thai cooking class yourself.

Organic farm at Baan Farm Thai Cooking School

After the market, you continue to the organic farm at Baan Farm Thai Cooking School. Here, you see how herbs and vegetables are grown on-site before using them at your individual cooking station.

Features

• In the organic farm visit, you walk through the garden beds and pick fresh Thai herbs and vegetables directly from the garden, selecting what you will use in your recipes.
• The visit supports the rest of your session because all cooking ingredients, including curry paste components, are provided from the farm and market, with vegan and vegetarian options available on request.

Thai cooking class at Baan Farm Thai Cooking School

The core of your experience is the Thai cooking class itself, held at the school after your market and farm visits. Each guest cooks multiple dishes, choosing 1 dish from each menu category and preparing their own curry paste.

Features

• At your personal station in this hands-on small-group setting, you cook your own Thai dishes using a wok and fresh produce, learning techniques step by step from the instructors.
• All cooking ingredients, including curry paste, are included for 5 authentic Thai dishes, with 1 dish selected from each menu category, so you can focus entirely on practicing chopping, stir-frying, and seasoning.
• Throughout the class, you are provided with a welcome drink and drinking water, and dietary needs are accommodated with vegan and vegetarian options available when requested in advance.

Dining session

Once cooking is complete, you sit down for a relaxed dining session at the school. This is where you taste everything you have prepared during the class.

Features

• In the dining session, you plate and enjoy each of your Thai dishes, comparing flavors and textures with other participants and experiencing a full meal based on your own work.
• Before leaving, you receive a recipe book to recreate Thai dishes at home, including guidance on the items you prepared, while your included round-trip transfers take you back to the Chiang Mai Old City area.
