Aula de Culinária Tailandesa Suwannee com Tour pelo Mercado

Amazing hospitality and sharing by Suwannee. my first time joining a cooking class, and i must say i was impressed! couldn’t have asked for a better experience. highly recommend to anyone who wants an insight into the local cuisine and daily life of the locals in Chiangrai. we even got to sample some of the local snacks and fruit at the market along the way as we shopped for our produce that we would be cooking. Even got to tour her home garden which has an amazing collection of plants, including succulents! touched by the warmth and generosity of Suwannee’s sharing.

The Suwannee cooking class was a fantastic experience, incredibly thorough and well explained with amazing food throughout. Came highly recommended and delivered, a must do in Chiang Rai. Suwannee was great, taking us through the Chiang Rai market and had us trying local food and produce, before going back to her house to cook with vegetables and herbs that she had grown. Amazing value for money.

I had a wonderful class with my child. The morning market shopping and the beautiful cooking classroom were absolutely delightful! I highly recommend this cooking school in Chiang Rai.

We were the first travelers to visit Suwannee since the Covid lockdown and we were so glad that we did. Suwannee was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic hostess who not only showed us cooking skills but was also the consummate guide, telling us so much about Thai and local life in Chiang Rai. We could easily have spent a lot more time talking to her. The trip itself started with her picking us up and taking us to the local market. She is clearly a popular and well-known person in the community, judging from her interactions with the stallholders. While we were at the market, we got to try some foods that we probably wouldn't have asked for ourselves. Despite the fact that we have lived in Thailand for two years and have been regular visitors to our own market, we still learned a lot from this part of the day. We were able to choose the dishes that we wanted to cook, and once we had all our ingredients, it was off to Suwannee's house for the class itself. Her house is very beautiful, with many fruits, herbs, and vegetables growing outside, which we were able to incorporate into our cooking. We learned how to make Som Tam (papaya salad), Red Curry, Tom Yam soup, and mango/sticky rice. My girls are not big on spicy food, so we were able to adjust to suit our tastes. The time went extremely quickly, and before we knew it, we had full, satisfied tummies, great conversation, and plenty of inspiration for future cooking. One of my daughters said that it was the best thing that we had done on our month-long holiday. I'm looking forward to being cooked for more when we get back!

A great way to learn more about Thai cuisine. Khun Suwannee was very friendly, knowledgeable, and a great teacher.

Suwannee ile Tayland mutfağını öğrenirken harika zaman geçirdik. Malzemeler ve lezzetleri nasıl dengeleyeceğimiz hakkında bilgi edindik. Tarifler, gelecekte evde pişirebileceğimiz kadar basit.

A sincere teacher who showed her enthusiasm in Thai cooking. Suwannee is not only teaching me how to cook but healing my soul as well. Highly recommended. Although I was the only one who joined the class that day, she still accepted the booking as she doesn’t want anyone to be disappointed. An unforgettable experience in my trip.

Amazing class! Being a quiet time of the year, we were lucky it was just three of us. It started with a very fun and interesting tour of the local market to pick up all the ingredients. She took great pleasure in pointing out many local foods, especially the exotic fruits and vegetables. We really liked that she sourced organic produce and had a strong rapport with the traders. This is really someone who is proud of her Lanna heritage and makes for a more authentic experience. After the market we went back to the cooking school, which is a lovely building and very clean and tidy. We had a tasting of the different key flavours of Thai cooking to establish our preferences (e.g. sweet, sour, spice, bitter). We then embarked on our cooking extravaganza taking breaks in between to enjoy our dishes. Our menu of the day was a spicy papaya salad, Tom Yum soup with prawns, green Thai curry, and bananas in coconut milk. Suwannee took a number of photos and videos of us during this time and surprised us at the end with a fantastic video of our class. We are very happy to recommend this class to other travellers, and look forward to trying her recipes back at home.

This was an awesome experience. Ms suwannee was generous and charitable with her knowledge and skills. It made the activity really fun and enriching.

Unique experience to my Thai trip. The teacher took us to the local market and shared local ingredients and culture.
