Half Day Evening Thai Cooking Class - i-Like Thai Cooking School

i-Like Thai Cooking School cooks by the lake at Grand Canyon Chiang Mai in Hang Dong, 20 to 30 minutes south of the Old City. The evening session is a hands-on class of seven dishes that starts at a local market and ends with your own cooking as dinner while the sun goes down over the water. It suits beginners, couples, families and friends, with bookings for 2 people or more; the school keeps classes to around 3 to 12 people, and anyone who would rather watch can come as a visitor and share the food.

Pickup is between 15:30 and 16:00 from your accommodation, then straight to a local evening market, where your instructor shows you the herbs, vegetables and spices Thai cooking depends on and you pick the ingredients for your dishes. A short drive brings you to the lakeside kitchen, where you cook at your own station. The seven dishes cover an appetizer, a stir-fry, a soup, a curry paste pounded by hand and the curry made from it, a Thai drink and a dessert. Each person chooses their own options, so a table of four can cook four different curries. You eat as you go, and the last dishes become dinner by the lake. Anything you cannot finish comes home with you.

You are back at your accommodation around 21:00, with an e-recipe book to keep. Transport is included within 5 km of the Old City. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and allergy-friendly versions of every dish are available if you tell us when booking.
