Don’t worry, even if you have never done a cooking class before, we make Thai cooking easy.Unlike other cookery schools that held 10-20 people per one class we limit our class to only 1-6 people so you can get the plenty of time learning with us. Ask any question you want while we're enjoy cooking together. As we take you step by step through the recipes, our class will give you confidence and we guarantee that you will be able to eat your very first delicious Thai dish. We pride ourselves on quality, from the freshest ingredients, high quality cooking utensils, clean and clear kitchens, to our customer service. « less

We did this course as a couple last month with Benz and it was just a complete joy from start to finish. It was very instructive and we especially enjoyed our trip to the market, where we had many of the questions that crop up as a tourist in Thailand answered. Like, say, just how many kinds of eggplant does... More

So well done from start to finish. Great start at the market with Benz, she's terrific. Then a well organized evening if cooking and eating. Really liked the ability to choose what you cooked and the personalized touch at each step along the way was great. This is a must do activity when visiting Chiang Mai and this is the... More

This class was educational, fun and delicious - and very well run! We had a group of 7 of us, all really nice and and friendly people. We started by going to the local market and learned about all of the different ingredients we would use. Did you know there are four different types of ginger? When we arrived at... More

I've been to this school twice - I enjoyed it so much on the first occasion, that when back to Chiang Mai again, I brought a friend of mine to share the fun. The school is not only about food and cooking, it's also about people. It is a good opportunity to have a shared experience, learn something different and... More

We loved Basil Cookery school, so much that we were just there today and were already anxious to write a great review! Everything about our morning class there was phenomenal- the ease of booking, the pick up, the market run, and then of course class itself. I echo positive previous reviews about Bentz, Tom, and the crew at the school-... More

I took 3 cooking classes during my travels in South East Asia, and this was by far the best one. The group was small and intimate, the instructor was friendly and fun and the food...oh my god it was the best I have ever tasted. I got to make 7 dishes and we had clear instructions on how to make... More

I've taken a lot of cooking classes while on travel, however, this one takes the cake for price, instruction, taste, and fun. My wife and I decided to do the evening course. We were picked up from our hotel, and driven straight to the market. Bez, our instructor, was charming and hilarious. She was engaging and energetic. We finished the... More

We spent a day here with Owuan (excuse the spelling) and team learning a few things about Thai cooking. Our instructor was an ex chef now free lance cooking instructor and was excellent. His English was great and his knowledge and experience were shared throughout the day. The day began with a trip to one of the smaller local markets... More
