Rooted in Lanna Culinary Tradition
Our full day course goes beyond general Thai cooking to focus on the authentic recipes and techniques of Northern Thailand. You are learning food that has real regional roots and cultural depth.
Full Day Thai Cooking Class in Chiang Mai
Master 7 authentic dishes in one unforgettable day of Northern Thai cooking and culture.
Go Deeper into the Heart of Thai Cuisine
Our full day Thai cooking class in Chiang Mai is designed for people who want more than a taster
session. Over the course of a full day, you will prepare 7 authentic dishes under the guidance of
an experienced instructor, working with fresh local ingredients in a genuine home kitchen setting.
This one-day cooking class in Chiang Mai covers a broader range of techniques than our half day
course and introduces you to the depth and variety of Thai cuisine in a way that a shorter session
simply cannot match. It is a truly rewarding experience from start to finish.
Discover Northern Thai Cooking and the Rich Flavors of the Lanna Kitchen
Chiang Mai is the cultural heart of Northern Thailand, and the food here carries centuries of Lanna
heritage. Our full day Thai food course is rooted in this tradition, introducing you to the distinct
flavors, ingredients, and cooking methods that set northern Thai cooking apart from the rest of the
country. From smoky charcoal-cooked dishes to the rich and fragrant Khao Soi curry noodle
soup, our Lanna Thai cooking class gives you a genuine taste of the food that locals have been
cooking in this region for generations.
A full day of cooking, culture, and flavor you will never forget.

Call UsFrequently Asked Questions
How is the full day Thai cooking class different from the half day class?
The full day class covers 7 dishes compared to 4 or 5 in the half day session, runs for approximately 6 to 7 hours, and goes deeper into Northern Thai and Lanna cuisine. It introduces more advanced techniques including charcoal cooking and the preparation of Khao Soi curry paste. It is the right choice if you want a thorough, immersive experience rather than a taster session.
Do I need any cooking experience for the northern Thai cooking class?
No prior cooking experience is required. While the full day course does cover more dishes and techniques than the half day class, your instructor will walk you through every step clearly and patiently. That said, guests who enjoy cooking and want to deepen their knowledge tend to find this course especially satisfying.
What is Khao Soi and will I cook it in the one-day cooking class in Chiang Mai?
Khao Soi is a rich coconut curry noodle soup that is widely considered the signature dish of Chiang Mai. It has a deep, layered flavor built from handmade curry paste and slow-cooked coconut broth. It features regularly in our full day Thai food course because it is one of the finest examples of what makes Lanna cuisine so unique and beloved.
Can I request specific dishes for the full day Thai cooking course?
Yes. If there are particular dishes you want to learn, let us know when you book. We are happy to include specific recipes where possible and tailor the day around what interests you most.
Is the optional market tour worth adding to the full day class?
Many of our guests say the market tour is one of the highlights of the whole experience. Visiting the local fresh market before the class begins gives you a direct connection to the ingredients you will be cooking with later in the day. Your instructor will be with you to explain what everything is and how it is used in Thai cooking. We highly recommend it if your schedule allows.
