Great experience!! Good memories with my wife. The food ingredients and cooking method explanations are excellent. Everything is professional and process-oriented. The cooking instructor's kind and fun explanations are impressive. I want to try other dishes next time.

This is the first time to experience Thai cooking. We will first take everyone to a traditional market to learn about the ingredients used in the Thai cuisine we are going to make today. I think it is suitable for children of all ages. Afterwards, we will go to a cooking school and the teacher will take everyone around. I will introduce some spices, leaves, etc. that will be used today, and then start to teach everyone how to make the dishes of their choice. You can take classes with people from all over the world to complete traditional Thai dishes. It is really special and worthwhile. The teachers in the school are also very enthusiastic. It is recommended that everyone come to Chiang Mai to experience it, it is worth it!

I first went to the store in Niman District and liked it very much. I immediately ordered another store in Gucheng District. The styles of the two restaurants are different, but both the reception staff and the master are very gentle. Both times, we were matched with a chef who spoke a little bit of Chinese.

The trip to Buatong Waterfall, Araksa Tea Garden and Sirkit Botanical garden went very well. As expected the driver didn’t speak English and instead he communication went through google translate. In the botanical garden he gave good advice how long to stop and the two main places

The staff made me feel relaxed from the very beginning. I like the massage techniques of the masseur very much. Several sore points were soothed. At the end of the 90 minutes, I felt that it was not enough. I wanted to go back to the masseur for an essential oil massage.

There are no photos of the ancient city. I paid 100 baht for an aunt to take them with my personal mobile phone. They are generally good. The photographer is also very good at guiding the movements and introducing Chiang Mai culture. I received 443 photos but there is no number. The first one is. Reply to ask, but haven’t received a reply yet
