What to expect

This is truly an off the eaten path experience. Nid will pick you up at your hotel in Chiang Mai and drive you about an hour to her home village. You'll stop at a local market, to learn about the regional produce and then continue to Nid's mother's home to begin cooking.

In your hands-on Chiang Mai cooking class learn to cook family recipes alongside Nid and her mother. Be prepared to chop, mince and pound as you create a beautiful Northern Thai meal featuring recipes perfected by Nid and her mother over the years. As with many traditional Thai families, Nid's mother does her cooking outside. You will be sitting outside Nid's family home on mats placed on top of the ground, and together with Nid and her mom enjoy a hands-on cooking lesson where you will have the chance to make some of the authentic Northern Thai dishes you won't find in other Thai cooking schools or restaurants.

Your meal might include Northern Thai pork salad, Nid’s special fried chicken, or laap pla duk (grilled minced fish salad) one of Nid's specialties. Experience a delicious side of Thai cuisine you’ve never seen or tasted before.
