Overview

In this culinary adventure you will leave Chiang Mai and spend the morning learning about local northern Thai life with your host, Nid. Nid grew up in Lamphun, a small region an hour outside of Chiang Mai. An adventurous soul, she left to travel and cook in restaurants worldwide. Of all the cooks she has met, she says the best is her mother. She is passionate about bringing travelers to her home to learn about authentic rural life, learning to cook the classic northern Thai dishes she grew up eating. This is truly an 'off the eaten path' experience!

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.
