Cooking class in Chiang Mai (THA)

In Thailand, you can visit cooking classes at several locations to get an insight into Thai cuisine. Chiang Mai has the highest concentration of cooking schools. I wanted to learn how to prepare Thai dishes, so I took a cooking class there.

I chose a full-day class at Smile Organic Farm Cooking School.

We started at 8 am in the morning. After being picked up from the hostel, we visited a local market.

Then we went to the cooking school, which is located outside of Chiang Mai on a farm. After a tour of the garden, including tasting various herbs and plants, we went behind the stove.

The great thing about the cooking class is that you can choose from a variety of dishes to cook. You can also adjust the dishes to your personal taste - for me, that means less spicy.

I chose the following dishes:

- Pad Thai

- Red Curry

- Coconut Milk Soup

- Papaya Salad

- Mango Sticky Rice

In addition, we also made spring rolls and two types of lemonade.

I had a fantastic day there. The food was delicious, and I had great conversations with the other participants in the class.

At the end of the class, each participant received a cookbook with the recipes. I am excited to try the dishes in Germany and curious if I can find the necessary ingredients there.
