Aula de Culinária Tailandesa Lanna Smile em Chiang Mai

Great experience, we were just 4 people so It almost feels like a private cooking class. Everything was just great :)

We went to visit a local wet market, and our teacher Pim introduced us to many local vegetables. The dishes we made were very delicious. It was also very easy to make them, as Pim's team had already prepared everything for us. We even got to take a recipe book home with us.

Chef muy bien informado que nos llevó por el recorrido del mercado. El tamaño de la clase es lo suficientemente pequeño como para tener una buena proporción chef-participantes. Los participantes pudieron cocinar y comer sus platos calientes y tuvieron tiempo suficiente para interactuar. En general, divertido y agradable.

We enjoyed the course and only had a small group size of 4 people. We made 5 dishes and did a tour of the market which was interesting. Getting picked up and dropped off is very useful. Instructor was funny, and friendly- very good English! We went away with a recipe book and look forward to trying them out at home.

I was a bit dissatisfied that they didn't pick us up at our hotel, but rather at another hotel near ours. I thought there would be other students there, but there weren't. For a first-time visitor with limited time, and before I had even put my luggage in my room, they were already WhatsApping me. As a result, I rushed and took a wrong turn, arriving ten minutes late. The entire process was very smooth and quick, and I got to eat Thai food I cooked myself, which was one of the highlights of the trip. On the way back, they dropped us directly at our hotel.

I really enjoyed this activity; it was simple and fun. The instructor was dedicated and humorous, and we got to eat the delicious food we made ourselves. My only minor feedback is that the food portions were a bit too large, and I felt it was wasteful to leave some behind. Additionally, I suggest changing the menu every three to six months, or at least differentiating it from other establishments' menus, which would likely increase repeat business.

The dishes were very diverse, and we ate until we were full. Although the class was in English, it wasn't too difficult, and we could also watch others follow along. We enjoyed each dish as soon as it was finished, so the process was very well-arranged. The teacher was young, lovely, and very friendly. If we truly didn't understand an ingredient's name, she would diligently find photos to help us understand.

Lanna Smile was so much fun! I went with my parents and we were the only ones there for the morning session. It was nice to be able to have a private lesson and make the dishes that we wanted to make. Pum was very knowledgeable and taught us about all the ingredients and sauces that go into each dish. We had a ton of food and everything was nicely spread out throughout our time there. If we didn't finish a meal, there was an option to take our leftovers home also. Pum not only taught us about Thai culture, but she also took an interest in us and where we were from. She was super personable and made the experience amazing!

A highly recommended cooking class! Regarding the pick-up arrangements, there were some issues with the meeting point because I rented a guesthouse, but it was eventually arranged smoothly. In the afternoon, we visited the local market to learn about the ingredients for Thai cuisine, which was very interesting! The cooking classroom was large and had sufficient cooking equipment. The teacher's dedicated instruction allowed us to fully immerse ourselves. It was very satisfying and enjoyable to actually complete five dishes!

No puedo recomendarlo lo suficiente, una experiencia muy divertida con guías muy amables, ¡gracias de nuevo! :)
