This itinerary was absolutely perfect! I've been to over 10 countries and taken many tours, but this one comes close to a perfect score. The cooking class wasn't just about cooking; it took you into the farm to learn about each herb used, from its source to preparing the food. Every step provided an excellent experience. And you don't wait until everything is cooked to eat; you get to taste each dish at its freshest. The portions were just right, and the overall atmosphere was very comfortable. Everything at the mango farm was perfect! 😍 The elephant sanctuary was also excellent because their elephants return to the forest every day to sleep and eat. They are free and only come down the mountain during the day to interact with visitors. The process always respects the elephants' wishes; they are not forced to eat or go into the water.

This experience was somehow exactly as described yet better than expected. An unforgettable experience made so special by the hospitable staff. Visiting Casa De Mango with Sonya and her team was such a delight! From the hotel pick up, she walked me through what dishes were available to make and had me select my choices. Once we got to the market, she picked up ingredients we would need for the day. Upon arriving at the farm, we were welcomed with tea and fruit. We then took a tour of the grounds and picked up the different herbs we would need for the day. After our tour, instruction started! This was very hands on between all members of the group, but approachable for all experience levels. We made so many amazing dishes and even had time to nap in the hammocks after lunch. We then transferred to the elephant sanctuary where we were guided through the most magical experience, meeting, feeding, and bathing the animals. The teams at both location too plenty of pictures for us. 1000/10!!

I took the cooking class on October 9th. Since it was off-peak, there was no one else there, so it was basically a private one-on-one lesson with the instructor, haha! We cooked four dishes and got a dessert included—there was way more food than I could possibly finish. In the afternoon, I went to the elephant sanctuary. The tour guide spoke Chinese the whole time and explained the background of these elephant camps in Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. They are actually the result of multi-party rescue efforts, using tourism revenue to feed these rescued, injured elephants. The youngest elephant at this camp, Lala, is just over six years old and was rescued from a circus. The staff carefully sets aside some extra food for her to eat nearby so the older elephants don't steal it. Lala has a very mischievous personality, just like a teenager. The oldest elephant here is 41 years old—I forgot his name, haha! There was also a mother-daughter pair, and one mother elephant was pregnant and about to give birth. That's when I learned that an elephant's gestation period is two years—it's so hard on them. It was a very precious experience, and I hope the elephants' lives just keep getting better.

🤩 The cooking experience at CASA DE MANGO🥭 was amazing! 1️⃣ The super warm and lovely Uncle Song took us on a tour of the Mango House estate, introducing us to various spices. We picked and tasted them right there! [playful] 2️⃣ Even abroad, we diligently cooked a meal. Actually, the estate staff prepared all the ingredients, and we made a DIY pre-made meal. [facepalm] 3️⃣ Uncle Song's emotional support was spot on! For every dish we made, he'd give us high-fives 🙌, thumbs-ups 👍, and even included his singing, dancing, and excellent cooking demonstrations. The whole process was incredibly joyful! [jumping] (It was like watching a skit; he even gave us a play performance, haha.) ✅ With over a dozen of us picking, cooking, singing, and laughing together, I truly experienced the "charm of a group."

This morning, we first visited the local fresh market. Our instructor, Ms. Sonya, was warm and polite, providing a detailed introduction to the main spices used in Thai cuisine and explaining the ingredients and sauces we would be using in class. The cooking school's facilities were practical and included its own garden. We also joined the instructor to pick the ingredients for our class. Today, I learned to cook Green Curry Chicken, Thai Cashew Chicken, and Pad Thai. In the afternoon, we took a car to an elephant sanctuary, which is an elephant-friendly park. The elephants were adorable, especially Nana, a 5-year-old female. She behaved like a child, playfully soliciting food and interaction from visitors and staff. The sanctuary thoughtfully provided bottled water, Pad Thai, and delicious fruit for everyone. Travelers from all over the world mingled and connected. I would highly recommend this activity to everyone.

If you’re trying to decide between experiences, this is your sign to just book this one. Sonya and Song helped us out during our whole day tour and everything was so well curated, fun, and informative too. We visited a market, the beautiful casa de mango farm, prepared a whole Thai menu, and then played with the elephants. Super grateful to have made such beautiful memories because of them!! thank you :)

Our tour guide was very enthusiastic and friendly, and even helped us take many photos. The cooking class instructor was great at creating a fun atmosphere and provided detailed explanations of the ingredients. The food we cooked was delicious, and there was even a nap time; the whole experience was very enjoyable. Feeding and bathing the elephants was truly a rare and unforgettable experience. It was clear that the entire park takes great care of and protects the elephants; they were able to roam freely and were very gentle. The park staff and our tour guide kept taking photos for us, which was wonderful!

It was absolutely fantastic! In the morning, our cooking instructor, Teacher Song, first took us to a local market where we sampled some unique local fruits. After about a 40-minute drive, we arrived at his kitchen and mango farm. His farm was beautifully decorated. He started by offering us herbal tea made from spices he grew himself, then gave us a tour of his tropical spice garden. We tasted and learned a lot about Thai spices. We chose four dishes to cook. Song was incredibly enthusiastic, cheerful, and very patient. He even knew the Chinese names for some of the spices, which helped us better understand the cooking process. As soon as we arrived, he and his sister started taking photos to document our experience, and later sent them to us. His kitchen was exceptionally clean, and the food we made was delicious. During our lunch break, he even set up hammocks for us to relax in. It felt amazing, like being in the middle of a jungle. In the afternoon, he took us to an elephant sanctuary. There, we met a guide who spoke excellent Chinese. He told us about the elephants' habits, and then we carried sugarcane to feed them. It was so interesting when their trunks touched the sugarcane. They were also quite timid! Afterwards, we bathed the elephants. Finally, the driver took us back to our hotel. It was truly a perfect and wonderful day!
