Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Baan Farm Thai Cooking School is a family-run business in Nong Jom, San Sai, north of Chiang Mai. Here, you'll cook with vegetables and herbs from their own garden. Both courses begin with a visit to a local market where you'll sample desserts and fruits. Afterward, you'll take a stroll around the farmyard before preparing five dishes of your choice—one from each category, plus a hand-pounded curry paste.

The morning course starts between 8:45 and 9:00 AM and ends around 1:00 to 1:30 PM. The afternoon course starts between 2:00 and 2:30 PM and ends around 6:30 PM. The participation fee is 1,000 Baht per person. For direct bookings and cash payments through the cooking school, the fee is 800 Baht. Guests not participating in the cooking course pay 300 Baht. Pick-up and drop-off are free in the Old City and Nimman. For other areas, we offer a free service upon request.

Vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, and gluten-free options are available. Children are welcome, and you will receive a recipe book and course photos. Private courses cost 5,500 baht for up to four people, while courses in the northern Lanna region start at 3,000 baht per person. Payment is accepted in cash or via Alipay. Cancellations made up to 24 hours in advance are fully refundable.
