Chiang Mai Province

Had a lovely half day with Amori during my trip to Chiang Mai - I happened to be the only person for my session but Amori spared no expense to make me feel as comfortable as possible and lunch was very nice. Learnt a lot more about meditation and Buddhism through the few hours with her when I have close to no experience before. Also had no issues going to and fro from old town area to her place either - was easy to catch a Grab, it was just 30-40 minutes away from the city - she also waited with me until I got a car. 10/10 would recommend if you want a different, local experience outside the city during your next trip to Chiang Mai!

We had an awesome trip to Dantewada and Sticky waterfall. Koh, our tour guide was amazing. He was professional, kind and very considerate. He helped everyone taking a nice picture. It was a great experience. Recommend this to anyone coming to Chiang Mai to go for it.

What an Awsome day! Got 13 big fishes and 2 smaller ones during the tour. our guide Mio was so kind and helpful. I learn a lot from his hints and knowledge. They do their best to help us catch fish, they provided us with multiple rods to use at the same time to try to lure diferent fishes , with different baits, they bring so many different baits, very generous with this. And their coaching and service is really great. The food from the restaurant was delicious and their service friendly. If you like fishing, buy this, really fun and peaceful.

What a fantastic experience! This was my first time in Thailand, and I was impressed by how seriously they take safety for outdoor activities; the safety training was very thorough. The instructors constantly checked everyone's understanding. Rafting here is different from in China; it's more of a sport. You're not just sitting there enjoying the ride, but rather following the instructor's commands, with everyone on the team working together to navigate through each rapid turn. There were two safety guides leading the way, an instructor on every raft, and many staff members taking photos, which made for excellent service. Regarding the pickup, since my phone number couldn't be dialed, it was entirely thanks to our mutual understanding 😂 The driver showed up right on time at my accommodation, which I truly appreciate!

Overall it was a fantastic experience by our instructor Mimi. The sudden drop was a nice surprise. We get to see elephants and buffalos upclose as we raft pass them. The sight was amazing. Buffalos cooling inside the river stared at us as we passed them lol.

Our hotel was outside the Old Town area, but we booked this tour because it offered pickup over a wide range. We participated as a family of two adults and three children (ages 3, 8, and 11). We shared the ride with two other groups, but it was a smooth experience. The day before, we received a confirmation email letting us know which car would pick us up. The cooking portion was for two adults, and the children helped the adults cook or wandered around when they got bored, as there was a chicken coop and a large garden nearby. The children received a set meal that included drinks, a rice plate similar to fried rice, and a mango with sweet sticky rice plate. The two adult portions we cooked were quite substantial, and our family was full after sharing them with the children. Other group members also shared one adult portion between two people. The assistants received the same menu as our children, and the quantity seemed sufficient. We adults each wanted to cook our own dishes, so we requested that, but some people took turns cooking, which might be a good option for couples. The instructor was kind and very easy to understand, even showing consideration for our children. The venue was truly stress-free and allowed us to relax. The food was delicious, the environment was pleasant, and our family of five thoroughly enjoyed it.

I booked a Thai cooking class with Mamanoi, the Chinese morning session, which starts at 9 AM and ends at 1:30 PM. The total duration was about four and a half hours. You don't need to prepare anything special, but I recommend wearing light clothing as the venue only has fans and no air conditioning. For those who attract mosquitoes easily, remember to take mosquito repellent precautions. The main process is as follows: At 9 AM, the staff from Mama's Kitchen picked us up from the hotel. Around 9:30 AM, they took a group of people to the local market. There was a dedicated Chinese and English-speaking teacher who explained various common Thai vegetables and spices. They covered everything from pandan leaves to red and yellow curries, and from different types of basil leaves and their aromas to various levels of chili spiciness. After the explanation, the teacher gave us fifteen minutes of free time to explore the market. After visiting the market, the staff drove us to "Mama's Kitchen," where the Chinese and English classes were held separately. Teacher TAN first let us choose the main dishes we wanted to cook. I chose the combination of "Pad Krapow + Green Curry + Tom Yum Soup." You can choose three main dishes, which can be two main courses and one soup. Thai milk tea and mango sticky rice are mandatory desserts and do not need to be chosen. After the teacher recorded our selections, she took us on a tour of the farm. After our farm tour, the teacher went to prepare the ingredients for cooking. Once everyone had taken photos and returned to the classroom, the class officially began. First, we pounded the curry paste and various spices, then chopped the different ingredients. The preparation for each dish was done separately. After completing the preparation for one dish, the teacher gave everyone a small mesh cover to protect the prepared ingredients from flies. Once everything was ready, we started cooking. Cooking over an open flame is fast, but controlling the heat can be challenging. Throughout the process, everyone was like a robot; we didn't have to think at all, just followed the teacher's instructions to complete the three dishes. However, this process was quite hectic, and I couldn't take any photos myself. If you want to capture good photos, it's better to have a companion dedicated to taking pictures. After eating, the teacher guided us in making Thai milk tea and mango sticky rice. After the itinerary concluded, the teacher asked everyone for their desired drop-off locations. You could return to your hotel, or tell the teacher where you wanted to go, and the teacher would help arrange transportation to your destination. Overall, it was a pretty good experience.

This cooking class was such a great experience. I went with my mom and sister and they really enjoyed themselves. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. Pickup was on time, the van was comfortable and the drive was smooth. I loved the idea that they messaged on WhatsApp the day before to get our 6 choices from the menu so that everything would be prepared and ready for when we arrived. 10/10 recommend.

As someone who's terrible in the kitchen 😂, this experience was really great and very safe. It was also super convenient to do this on a rainy day, with pickup and drop-off service and free fruit. I ate until I was absolutely stuffed. This was the first time I've ever felt the joy of cooking!
