Siam Garden Cooking School, Chiang Mai

I had such a great time at Siam Garden Cooking School! The whole experience was fun from start to finish. We made several delicious Thai dishes that were easy to follow and tasted amazing. It was a great way to learn about Thai cooking while creating wonderful memories. One of the best parts was meeting so many friendly people from different countries and enjoying the meal together after cooking. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and patient, making everyone feel comfortable. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Chiang Mai. It’s definitely one of the highlights of my trip!

this is my very first cooking class and absolutely love it. The service were very good, all the staff guide you how to cook all the menu. If you are new in cooking or even wants to join the class with kids, you don’t have to worry because it’s beginner friendly. Will definitely recommend this to my friends.

J'ai apprécié l'expérience. Le cours est bien organisé et intéressant aussi bien pour le novice que pour le cuisinier amateur expérimenté. Le personnel est aimable et professionnel, les chambres sont très propres et la décoration est chaleureuse et authentique. Fortement recommandé !

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Fantastisk opplevelse på Siam Cooking School Vi hadde en så herlig tid på Siam Cooking School! Markedsturen var både hyggelig og veldig informativ – en flott måte å lære om lokale ingredienser på. Skolens beliggenhet er fantastisk: luftig, rolig og den perfekte rammen for en avslappet matlagingsdag. Eieren, Vony (Miss Beautiful), er ikke bare talentfull, men også veldig morsom, og hele teamet – Gift, Pear og de andre herlige jentene (beklager at jeg ikke fikk med meg alle navnene!) – gjorde opplevelsen varm og morsom. Vi lagde 6 deilige retter, og det var den perfekte aktiviteten på en regnværsdag. Et lite tips: Hvis du tar en Grab-bil til møtestedet på en regnværsdag, beregn ekstra tid for biltilgjengelighet og trafikk for å sikre at du kommer frem i tide. Bestilling via Klook var raskt og enkelt, og operatøren svarte raskt på alle meldinger. Anbefales på det sterkeste for alle som besøker Chiang Mai!

Super pratique ! L'eSIM a été facile à installer et s'est activée immédiatement après avoir scanné le code QR. La vitesse d'internet était rapide et fiable tout au long de mon voyage, ce qui m'a permis de naviguer facilement, de réserver des trajets et de rester connecté. Les instructions étaient claires et je n'ai pas eu à me soucier de trouver une carte SIM locale à mon arrivée. Je le recommande vivement à tous les voyageurs — sans tracas et ça en vaut la peine !

I got picked up right on time from the meeting point and dropped back there after – super smooth ride! That day it was just the two of us in the class – basically a private lesson! Our teacher Gift was super sweet and helped us with everything. The whole staff was so friendly and welcoming. Honestly, I never thought I could cook Thai food this well – chef vibes unlocked! Such a fun experience, you really have to try it!

I really wanted to try a cooking class when I came to Chiang Mai, and it was a great experience! My mom also loved it, saying she would have regretted not doing the cooking class. After booking, they contacted me via Line or WhatsApp to ask for my hotel address, and it was convenient that they picked us up there. You can also pre-select your desired menu individually through the messenger app, and if you're with others, it would be great to try different dishes by having each person make something different! We traveled in an air-conditioned car, and it was fun to look at fruits at the local market. They gave us about 10-15 minutes of free time there, during which I bought and ate some delicious fruits. Upon arrival, it was interesting to hear explanations about the garden with various herbs and spices. The cooking itself wasn't too difficult, which was nice, as most of the ingredients were already prepared; we just had to do a bit more prepping, stir-frying, or boiling. For tasks like making curry paste with a mortar and pestle, if you weren't doing it right, the staff would help you out. We ate the dishes we made in two separate sittings, and it was great to be able to eat in an air-conditioned room! I was worried because my mom is sensitive to hot weather, but the air-conditioned room was the best! They also provided cool water and coffee. It seems you can also buy ingredients or merchandise later. They said the recipes can be viewed again on their website later, and the recipe book they provide includes not only today's recipes but also other recipes, vegetables, fruits, spices, sauces, and more in detail, which will be incredibly helpful when I want to cook at home later! I couldn't take many photos while cooking, but it's a relief that they said they would upload them to Facebook or their website! Thank you to staff Cream and Gift for their kind explanations today~! We made wonderful memories in Chiang Mai. Haha.

It was a great time thanks to the very kind tour staff! Don't worry, and join the tour! The process of making food was fun and delicious. I like the unique scent of Thai food, and I was very happy to find the source of this taste! It tastes better now that I know what ingredients it's made of!

Gift and May, the assisting teacher, were incredibly kind and explained Thai ingredients and the market in great detail. I was a bit worried about the cooking process involving fire, but the teachers watched over us, so it was safe. The food tasted even better after making and eating it. However, there are three dogs (which we found very lovely). If you need to avoid animals, you might want to consider this.

Teacher "Gift" was incredibly kind and informative! There was another guest booked near our hotel, so they picked us up right by the hotel. After about a 30-minute drive, we arrived at Ruamchok Market, where we heard a brief explanation about some ingredients and were given time to look around. Since it was a weekday, it was nice to be able to browse at a leisurely pace. The class is perfectly manageable even if you've only had regular Korean education and can barely say yes, no, or hello. The assistants are very helpful and kind. The ingredients were pre-prepped more than I expected, so the knife work was mostly just a simple "slicing experience."
