Must for foodies - This was an amazing experience and a must if you are in Chiang Rai and want to learn about local cuisine. Suwannee walks you through the process from gathering ingredients at the local market, to prep, to cooking four amazing dishes.

Authentic cooking experience - AMAZING EXPERIENCE
We booked a group class but we ended up just being the two of us. Suwannee brought us to the local market introducing us to her favorite ingredients. We then went back to her home where there is a great cooking studio. Suwannee is so knowledgeable, passionate and patient. We learn great cooking techniques and hope to be able to replicate it at home!

Definitely Recommend - Guide: Suwannee ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
+ Great communication
+ Brought us to local spots & markets.
+ Gave us tastings of some local foods
+ Very patient
+ Great teacher
* My only wish was that her cat could come inside with us.
This goes in our top 3 excursions in Thailand. (Along with the elephant sanctuary in Chiang Mai and the bioluminescent plankton tour in Ao Nang)
We were very lucky that it was only the two of us in this class. Suwannee considered asking us to join the afternoon session but decided against it so we pretty much got a private cooking lesson. She also made us a video of our experience and sent us the recipes of what we cooked.
The ingredients were fresh and we learned a lot about Thai cooking, being hands on, the order of cooking, and different ingredients. The items that we made were delicious, her kitchen is gorgeous, peaceful, and very clean. I absolutely loved this experience. I also love her cat. I would book this again just to see her cat again.

Perfect Experience - We were a Group of 11 people and had the morning course. The walk over the market was amazing. We could ask what ever we wanted and Suwanne always met our expectation. The kitchen and house was realy clean. The dishes we cooked were fantastic and she was fluent in english and even spoke a litte dutch and german. We would do it again thank you.

Highly recommended! - We started by buying ingredients at the market, there we got a lot of explanation about all the ingredients we were going to use for the meals we were going to make. The cooking studio was very nice and very clean, the owner spoke good English and even a little Dutch! We had a very nice morning here with nice meals, so definitely recommended!

Fun cooking class with a wonderful teacher - I liked that we went to the market first and Suwannee explained a lot about various ingredients used in the Thai cuisine. The cooking was so much fun and the food was delicious. Suwannee also made sure to adjust the spice level to all participants.

Cooking classes - Wonderful experience, great for couples! You can choose from menu what you gonna cook and then you go for a local market to get ingredients. Chef is very knowledgeable and friendly- speaks perfect English so communication is not a problem. You can learn about ingredients and cooking techniques. Worth its price, definitely recommend!

Best cooking class in Chiang Rai - I had an amazing experience at this cooking class with Suwannee! We walked around the market first, which added certain vibe to the day🤤 The food was absolutely delicious, and I learned so much about Thai cuisine. The chef was fantastic—she had incredible knowledge of Thai food and made everything easy to understand. As I was the only participant, I appreciated the one-on-one attention, which allowed me to grasp the basics while also learning some more advanced techniques. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the surrounding area added to the charm of the experience. Highly recommend this class for anyone interested in Thai cooking!

A wonderful and worthwhile cooking class experience - Suwannee offered an amazing and informative experience. From collecting us at our hotel, to walking us through the local markets, tasting and touching as we went, then on to local organic coffee to go back to her home based studio (which was large, airy, well set up and very inviting). This was a complete and immersive experience - even to showing us how to cut lemongrass to get the maximum flavour. We cooked a course and then sat down at a beautifully presented table to enjoy our efforts. I would thoroughly recommend this cooking class - Suwannee is knowledgeable, kind, experienced and fun. As a couple, we are very grateful to her. We thoroughly recommend everyone to take her instruction and class. Its worth every cent and more. Thank you Suwannee, you have changed the way we cook Thai.
