What to expect

The Rice Barn Thai Cooking Farm Chiangmai

Spend a half-day morning or half-day evening cooking course at The Rice Barn Thai Cooking Farm Chiangmai, where you focus on hands-on learning rather than demonstrations. The experience centers on preparing five famous Thai dishes at your own pace.

Features

• Start with a visit to a local market, where your expert English-speaking guide explains key Thai ingredients and helps you understand what will be used for your recipes. This first stop sets the context for the dishes you will later cook back at the farm.
• Take advantage of round-trip transfers that bring you between your hotel and the cooking farm, so your focus stays on the half-day Thai cooking course rather than navigating transport.
• Use all necessary ingredients that are provided for you, so there is no need to bring anything for the cooking itself. A welcome drink and a recipe book are also included, giving you something to enjoy on-site and a reference to take home.
• Cook 5 dishes including Pad Thai, Thai hot and sour prawn soup, fried chicken with cashew nuts, green curry or Panang curry (you choose 1), and mango with sticky rice. Each student has their own personal cooking station, and all of the courses are completely hands-on so you actively prepare every dish yourself.
• Follow guidance from your English-speaking guide throughout the hands-on course, who shows you how to work at your personal cooking station and supports you step by step as you complete each recipe in sequence.
