Recommended toursChiang Mai · Smile Organic Farm
Smile Organic Farm starts with a walk through its herb and spice garden before you cook your chosen dishes. The half-day class covers curry paste, curry, stir-fry, soup and spring rolls; the full day adds salad, dessert and a herbal drink. A market visit and return hotel pickup are included.
Recommended toursChiang Mai · Thai Akha Kitchen
Thai Akha Kitchen is run by members of the Akha community and teaches Akha soup, salad and chilli dip alongside Thai curries, soups and stir-fries. Morning classes shop for ingredients at the market; evening classes focus on cooking. Choose a cooking-class option, as the separately sold local-market tour does not include a lesson.
Smile Organic Farm changes its cooking content between half-day and full-day formats. Thai Farm links the market and organic farm to rice and curry-paste preparation; allow for travel beyond the cooking time.
Thai Akha combines Akha soup, salad and chilli dip with Thai recipes. For khao soi, check the selectable curry menu at Mama Noi, Zabb E Lee or Smile.
Market access varies by session. Thai Akha’s evening class omits it, and Grandma’s market stops differ between daytime and evening lessons.
Included pickup may have different terms outside the city. Submit your accommodation name and address, dietary requests and children’s participation details before booking.
