★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 96 reviews · from $56Best value

Meet Suwannee near Chiang Rai’s Old Clock Tower for a four-and-a-half-hour Thai cooking class. Visit an organic market, choose ingredients, cook papaya salad, tom yum, green curry, and banana dessert, then eat together.

“Our host was a real gem. She taught us the science behind the cooking and planning for taste, texture and color variety and timing. Best part was we all could pick a menu together and then cook in unison. Other courses I've taken were chaotic with different menus. She was inspiring to be creative.”
