Private Cooking Class at Grandma's Cooking School
Escape to the countryside south of Chiang Mai for a private cooking class at Grandma's, where the day begins in the garden – harvesting herbs and collecting eggs – before learning to coax authentic Thai flavors from ingredients you've picked yourself.

The drive south from Chiang Mai takes you deeper into the countryside, where Grandma's Cooking School sits among rice paddies and organic gardens. Thai-style pavilions catch the afternoon breeze, and before you've even thought about cooking, you're walking through the farm with a basket – snipping fresh herbs, crouching to harvest mushrooms still damp from the soil, gathering eggs warm from the henhouse. There's something about touching the ingredients first that makes everything that follows feel more connected.
Your instructor guides you through dishes that belong to Thai home kitchens, not restaurant menus. The sharp citrus heat of Tom Yam. Kang Kiew Waan, where green curry paste blooms in coconut cream. Pad Thai with its balance of sweet, sour, and savory that's harder to nail than it looks. Gang Massaman, rich with warming spices that speak to the dish's Persian roots. Each recipe unfolds with the kind of detail that only comes from someone who's made these dishes hundreds of times.
When it's time to eat, you sit down to what your hands have created. The flavors taste different when you've coaxed them yourself – sharper, more satisfying, somehow more real. You'll return to your hotel with techniques that will follow you home, and the memory of an afternoon where time moved just a little slower.
