Frequently Asked Questions

Where is the best place to take a cooking class in Thailand?

Chiang Mai is widely considered the best place for cooking classes in Thailand. It has the most options, the lowest prices (from EUR24), and classes include organic farm visits and market tours. Bangkok is a close second for convenience.

How much does a Thai cooking class cost?

Thai cooking classes range from EUR22-146 depending on location and class type. Chiang Mai and Krabi are the most affordable (EUR24-42), while Phuket and Koh Samui are pricier (EUR46-105). Premium experiences like Blue Elephant can cost EUR120+.

Should I book a cooking class in advance?

Yes, especially during peak season (November-February). Popular classes in Chiang Mai and Bangkok can sell out days in advance. Book at least 2-3 days ahead, or 1 week during holidays.

Are Thai cooking classes suitable for vegetarians?
