Private Cooking Class in Chiang Rai

Let the aromas of Thai herbs fill the kitchen as you step into a private Thai and Akha cooking class in Chiang Rai. This hands-on experience begins with a guided local market visit to explore fresh herbs, spices, and ingredients. Learn to prepare 5 dishes, including “Sa-pee-tong,” a rare Akha dish passed down through hill tribe communities of Northern Thailand. Then choose from Thai favorites such as Pad Thai, Green Curry, Tom Yum Goong, or Mango Sticky Rice. This private class is for your group only, with shared cooking stations designed so everyone can rotate through each step together. Sit down to enjoy the meal you created, then leave with practical cooking skills and a deeper understanding of Northern Thai and Akha food culture.

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.
