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

Led by the warm and knowledgeable Ann, this cooking class in Chiang Rai offers an authentic immersion into Northern Thai cuisine that goes far beyond simply cooking. The course begins with a visit to a local market, where Ann guides participants in selecting fresh ingredients, answers questions about unfamiliar products, and even offers samples along the way – including durian and fresh coconut water. Back in Ann's kitchen, each step of the cooking process is clearly demonstrated before participants get hands-on experience. This creates a practical and personal experience that doesn't feel like a mere demonstration.

Ann tailors each course to the individual group, asking about favorite dishes beforehand to ensure the course meets the participants' needs. She pays particular attention to special dietary requirements, including complex ones like celiac disease, making the course an attractive option for travelers who often struggle to find flexible dining arrangements. The friendly, home-like atmosphere ensures small groups and a relaxed ambiance with plenty of time for questions and cooking at a comfortable pace.
