★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 19,087 reviews · from $29Top rated

Chiang Mai organic farm cooking class with market stop, hands-on curry paste and dishes, vegan options, and hotel pickup.

“Great cooking class in Chiang Mai. Started off with a visit to a market and then headed to the farm. We made spring roll then a choice of entree, main curry and soup. I made the cashew nut chicken, Khao soi and coconut with chicken soup. Natalie was a great host with clear instructions and giving us a chance to cook. Only feedback would be that we could have done a dessert for the last course instead of soup, we were on the half day. The flavours are authentic and it’s a delicious meal you get to enjoy!”

“I really enjoyed this tour and highly recommend it! Jenny was an awesome tour guide, very friendly, kind, and informative, and her driver Gai (apologies for misspelling) was wonderful as well. There was sufficient time at each temple, of course I would love to stick around longer to really take it in, but given how much is packed into a day tour, it still felt relaxed and not too rushed. Everything was very timely and nicely organized, and the van was new and comfortable. The temples were incredible, a must see. An overall great way to cover numerous sites in Ayutthaya in one day while being back at a decent…”

“This was a great experience to go to! The event went from 6-10 and we got to see 9 matches. It was very interesting getting to learn the origins of Muay Thai. We got the cheapest seats, but you can’t really go wrong with any seats. They are all good seats. There is food there as well, but it is pricier than other places. Would definitely go again!”
