今天早上首先去了本地新鮮市場逛一圈，導師Sonya女士熱情有禮，詳細介绍泰國菜主要香料及講述這次上課用的材料及調味醬汁的運用。烹飪學校場地實用，有自家種植園。我們也一起跟著導師採摘上課時要用的食材，今天我上課學習煮青咖哩雞，泰式炒腰果雞丁和泰式炒金邊粉。下午再乘車前往大象保育區，這裡是對大象友善的園區，大象們很可愛，尤其5歲雌性大象Nana。牠像小孩般向遊客及工作人員撒嬌討食物和互動玩耍。保育園貼心地提供瓶裝水，炒金邊粉和美味水果給大家。來自世界各地的旅客們打成一片。是次活動我會推薦給各位。

If you’re trying to decide between experiences, this is your sign to just book this one. Sonya and Song helped us out during our whole day tour and everything was so well curated, fun, and informative too. We visited a market, the beautiful casa de mango farm, prepared a whole Thai menu, and then played with the elephants. Super grateful to have made such beautiful memories because of them!! thank you :)

Strávil som zábavný a naplnený deň. Bol som vraj len druhý Japonec, ktorý sa zúčastnil tohto zájazdu. Ráno ma v hoteli vyzdvihla Somya, učiteľka varenia, a išli sme na trh. Na trhu sme sa dozvedeli o bežne používaných ingredienciách v thajskej kuchyni. Zdalo sa, že si tam môžeme kúpiť aj raňajky. Po príchode do Casa de Mango nám ponúkli uvítací čaj. Prehliadli sme si záhradu a nazbierali bylinky, koreniny a zeleninu do košíka. Na kurze varenia bolo možné vybrať si niektoré jedlá a keď som povedal, že nie som zvyknutý na pikantné jedlá, prispôsobili mi menu. Pripravili sme päť jedál v hygienickom prostredí a s radosťou sme si ich vychutnali pri rozhovore s ostatnými účastníkmi zájazdu a Somyou. K dispozícii bola aj voda a káva po jedle. Ak sme jedlo nedojedli, mohli sme si ho vziať so sebou. Po obede bolo veľmi príjemné zdriemnuť si v hojdacej sieti v záhrade. Sloní útočisko som vnímal ako miesto, kde môžu byť slony čo najslobodnejšie. Najprv nám dali prezliecť sa na toalete. Po vypočutí si informácií o slonoch a dôležitých upozorneniach (nestáť priamo za slonom, nestáť pred tvárou slona, keď žerie kukuričné stonky, nenútiť sa dotýkať jeho tváre, ako dávať maškrty, staršie slony sú zvyknutejšie ako mladé slony atď.) sme si každý vzali tašku s maškrtami (cukrovou trstinou) a presunuli sa k rieke. Podávali sme maškrty podľa pokynov mahouta (ošetrovateľa slonov). Urobili nám aj fotografie a videá. Potom sme nasledovali mahouta a podávali maškrty slonom v lesnej oblasti a pozorovali ich. Raz sme si oddýchli a dostali studenú vodu. Potom sme pomáhali slonom pri kúpaní (dobrovoľné, závisí od nálady slona). Nakoniec bol pripravený Khao Soi, melón a ananás (štýl „vezmi si, koľko chceš“). Čo si vziať so sebou: repelent proti hmyzu, bunda (dodávka s klimatizáciou), sandále a uterák (ak chcete pomôcť slonom pri kúpaní).

tour guide很熱情友善，也有幫我們拍很多照片。廚藝班的導師很會搞氣氛，介紹食材時也很詳盡，煮出來的食物很好吃，還有nap time，整個體驗很有趣。大象餵食和洗澡，真的是難得、難忘的體驗。看得出來整個園區到時很照顧、保護大象，大象能自由自在的到處走，也很溫馴。園區的人和tour guide一直又再幫我們拍照，很棒！

這次參加Klook的清邁CASA DE MANGO 的廚藝課（芒果之家）（全英文）跟大象保護區體驗（可中文可英文） 體驗推薦🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 這次透過旅遊平台預訂廚藝教室+大象保護體驗ㄧ日遊，早上司機會開車去旅館接你，九人座的箱型車在古城區的各家旅館之間穿梭。上車後導遊會詢問今天要做的菜色，（有炸春捲、泰式咖哩、pad thai、炒蔬菜和甜點）甜點原本有芒果糯米飯可以做，但是被告知目前芒果不是主要產季，所以只能做香蕉椰奶。 中途（車程約30分鐘）會停留市場，介紹當日要用到的食材以及一些當地才有的特色美食跟醬料（停留約20分鐘），之後前往芒果之家（車程約40分鐘），中間如有需要上廁所可以告知導遊，他會為我們安排。 抵達後迎接我們的是主廚MR. Song,他是芒果之家的主人，也是導遊的哥哥，他十分開朗幽默，笑聲可以傳遍整個農場！ 印入眼簾的是一個佔地約半甲地的芒果樹加上一片有機香料農地，主要的建築坐落在正中央，是四面開放式的東南亞木製建築，裡面有一張大桌子以及個人專屬小型料理台。 首先主廚先在芒果園中獻上斑蘭茶，並且介紹芒果之家的起源，還在我們的手上寫上我們的泰國名字，也方便員工記住大家的名字。 之後我們前去有機農地，主廚會一一介紹各種不同的香料給我們認識，還一直叫我們吃吃看，千萬不要傻傻的每個都嘗試，因為他們的香料都有特殊的味道！ 接著我們開始煮菜，煮菜過程十分簡單，不會料理的人也不用擔心，主廚會耐心的指導我們，不過成品是依照當地人特有的甜鹹口味，中間試圖想減少調味料的我就失敗了😂。 料理結束後，工作人員會幫忙擺盤，搭配著新鮮的花朵，一邊吃著我們自己煮的料理，一邊感受清新的空氣，心情相當的美好。享受完午餐後，躺在主人特別準備的吊床上享受著日光浴，非常愜意！ 而在芒果之家的這段時間，主人和導遊會貼心的幫我們拍照，只要加入他的what’s app，照片就會傳給你喲～ 午休完後我們坐上車，花了大概40分鐘前往大象保護園區。在這裡有專門說中文的導覽員，可以無壓力的溝通，除了了解這一些大象的歷史，也可以知道他們的習性及如何和他們友好的互動。 唯一美中不足的是，料理課需要一些基本的英文能力，不然就會錯過主廚的幽默講解，聽不懂其實也不用太擔心，他們都會盡力讓你理解，肢體語言也可以呦～ 如果你想買行程，我非常推薦CASA DE MANGO的廚藝教室。

Chef Song van Casa de Mango was echt geweldig! Zo enthousiast en grappig. Hij gaf veel uitleg over verschillende kruiden en gaf een goede rondleiding in de kruidentuin. Dit was echt een geweldige ervaring. Ook de elephant sanctuary was super! Er waren op dit moment 4 olifanten, 1 was zwanger. We konden ze eten geven, dit was een bijzondere ervaring.

An amazing cooking experience with truly personal attention! Casa De Mango is a beautiful family-run farm, and every member of the family was warm, kind, and welcoming. Everyone had their own fully equipped cooking station, making the experience both professional and fun. We even picked fresh herbs from the garden and used them in our cooking. Chef Song was professional, funny, and very patient, making the whole experience unforgettable. Although it's not the cheapest activity, it's absolutely worth every penny. Highly recommended! ❤️

I had an absolute blast during this experience. Our chef specialist Song was really knowledgeable and brought the energy. The food we made was delicious and gave us a taste of what it's like to make Thai cuisine. The elephant experience was also fun. Our guide Mark was also knowledgeable and fun to talk to. The elephants got up close but we're very friendly. Overall one of if not the best experience I've had while in Thailand.

had a great time, Khun Song was a fun and lively personality for a cooking class tutor, their surroundings were excellent and eating own cooking is the cherry on top. The elephant sanctuary was truly so much fun and much happier going this route to be able to be touch them. Khun Nim and Khun Rainbow were a pleasure to work with and definitely knew their stuff and really cared.
