Step into an authentic private Thai and Akha cooking class in Chiang Rai, where you’ll cook five dishes in a welcoming home kitchen after a guided local market visit. This hands-on experience blends Northern Thai flavors with a rare Akha hill tribe dish you won’t easily find elsewhere.
Start with a guided walk through a Chiang Rai local market to explore, taste, and select fresh herbs, spices, and ingredients. Upon arrival at the kitchen, you’ll be welcomed with a roselle drink before getting ready to cook.
In the kitchen, prepare each dish step by step, starting with “Sa-pee-tong,” a traditional Akha dipping dish. Continue by choosing from Thai favorites such as Pad Thai or Pad See Ew, plus your selected appetizer or soup, curry, and dessert. This private class offers shared cooking stations designed for your group, so everyone can join each step. Free soft drinks and drinking water are provided throughout the class.
Sit down to enjoy the meal you’ve created together in a relaxed setting. Bring your curiosity, your appetite, and your love for food—and leave with real skills, real flavors, and a deeper connection to Northern Thailand.
Guests are required to make their own way to Chiang Rai Clock Tower by 9:00 AM before the market visit begins. The meeting point can be reached by taxi or Grab. Late arrivals of more than 10 minutes may be considered a no-show.
