1 Day Foodie Experience in Thailand

Experience the warm and inviting home of Ms. Yui and Mr. Kwan, the passionate food enthusiasts behind the renowned A Lot of Thai cooking school. With decades of teaching experience and a former TV cooking show to her name, Ms. Yui is the perfect guide to lead you through this immersive culinary experience.

Begin your day with a pick-up from your hotel between 09:45 and 10:00, and step into the heart of Thailand’s culinary heritage. Roll up your sleeves and dive into the art of Thai cooking. Learn to cut, slice, pound, and fry under Ms. Yui’s expert guidance as she shares her treasured family recipes. With each step, gain insights into the history and cultural significance of the dishes you’re preparing. Once your creations are complete, sit down to savour the meal you’ve cooked, relishing the flavours of some of Thailand’s favourite dishes.

After your culinary adventure, you’ll stroll through a bustling local market with your hosts. Browse colourful stalls brimming with fresh vegetables, fragrant herbs, and exotic fruits. Discover unique ingredients integral to Thai cooking and observe the daily rhythms of local shoppers seeking the freshest produce.

Before bidding farewell, you’ll receive a beautifully illustrated cookbook—a keepsake to inspire your future culinary endeavours. Return to your hotel around 16:00, carrying the delicious memories of your morning.

Evening Tip: Don’t miss the chance to visit Chiang Mai’s famous Night Market (open 18:00–22:00), or weekend walking street markets, some of the best places for handicrafts and souvenir shopping in the country
