I have been meaning to write a review of this cooking school since we got back from Thailand a couple of weeks ago, and receiving an email from A (who runs the school) with photos from our day has reminded me to do it! The day was really good fun, we went to the market (different days have different activities)... more

We had a phenomenal time at the Thai Orchid Cookery School -- and the fun truly lasts, as we can continue to make these dishes back home! We did a thorough review of the cooking schools in Chiang Mai before selecting Thai Orchid, and we were impressed. Thai Orchid comes highly recommended! To offer an overview of our experience: We... more

This cooking school was fantastic. The owners, a brother/sister team, started their own school in order to have small classes and individual instruction.

We were so pleased that we did -- it was one of the best parts of our trip! The staff is so friendly and helpful. A staff member made sure to greet us on... more

Raat and A are not only teachers but also gurus in the kitchen. Their passion to share their knowledge and experience really perfected my experience in Chiang Mai. I tried other cooking classes and none of them compared to this school. These two women are just so easily lovable and will go out of their way to make sure you... more

My daughter and I attended this class which started off with a trip to the local market and concluded with an amazing 5 course meal. Our host was very nice, knowledgeable, funny and a great cook. After demonstrating each course, every student got the opportunity to make the dish. Doing the actual cooking reinforced the techniques so we can actually... more
