PRIVATE Chiang Mai Cooking Class in Pea's Traditional Teak Home

Exceptional experience.

Our host Pea was a pillar of her community and a fabulous host. I wish we could have spent the day at her home, garden and culinary facility. I learned so much and she treated us like family. An exceptional experience

Very accommodating as our...

Very accommodating as our flight was delayed. When we arrived we were warmly greeted and felt very welcomed. It was evening hours, so we were not able to tour the garden, but were told about everything in it. From the beginning we heard her story on how she began cooking, and then teaching. Her directions were easy to understand and at a pace we could follow. The food was amazing. We were able to create our own dishes exactly how we wanted. The whole experience was fun, educational. and the directions on what ingredients to use and how to use them were very easy to understand. I would definitely recommend this personal cooking class. Something very important to us was also the fresh whole ingredients that were all organic with no pesticide or herbicide use. During our experience Pea took our photos so we could have memories. She sent them to us in email afterwards. An experience we will never forget and also highly recommend. Thank you Pea for teaching us how to make the perfect Thai meal. We can't wait to make it ourselves at home.

A lovely experience! Learned a lot!

There was no one else signed up for my class so I had a one-on-one lesson with Pea. I'm not a very competent cook but with the guidance of Pea my food turned out very yummy! And I learned a lot! She also emails you the recipes and photos that she takes of you during the class. This is a lovely experience and it is made more special by being given a tour of Pea's garden beforehand. I got the impression that class sizes are usually small so everyone can always get lots of guidance, like I did! If you're going to do a cooking class, this is the one to do! I also purchased her cookbook which is a lovely momento and is beautifully illustrated.

Food and Fun

My husband and I had a wonderful time starting from the pick up at our hotel. Jah, Pea’s son, picked us up on time and and enriched our visit to the cooking school by sharing a bit about himself,his family, his city and more The ride to and from the cooking school with him was a very positive and informative part of our evening. Thanks, Jah! It is definitely worth taking a class from Pea. She is quite the teacher—-organized, passionate, and very accommodating. I eat meat. My husband is a pescatarian, and she managed to have food choices for both of us to cook and eat We spent time in her lovely garden and learned how to create our own recipes using Thai cooking principles of flavor and ingredients available to us. The food was delicious and we ate every bite! We have taken cooking classes in several other countries. This one was unique as Pea stressed home cooking and how to adapt it to our own family. I highly recommend taking a private class from Pea instead of a group class somewhere else The personalized attention is worth every bit of your time. . Thank you, Pea and Jah! Come eat with us in Minnesota sometime!

One-of-a-Kind!! A MUST Do 🙌🏽

One-of-a-kind experience ! Cooking with Mrs. Pea was so magical. Her son provided transportation to and from our Airbnb. He was so kind and answered any question we had. Upon arrival to Mrs. Peas’ beautiful home, she greeted us outside, took us on a tour of her amazing organic garden sharing her knowledge with us of each plant we saw, smelled and tasted, and then welcomed us into her home to start cooking. But first she explained the foundation of Thai cooking while having a yummy snack - my mouth is watering as I think about the taste explosion !! Then we cooked 4 delicious dishes. Mrs. Pea is a great instructor, extremely hospitable and took great care with my boys (ages 7, 10 and my adult daughter, 23) so that they enjoyed cooking and learned how to make the dishes with a little help from her. We had such a memorable time and will definitely come back to cook with Mrs. Pea when we return to Chiang Mai. Thank you so much, Mrs. Pea❤️

Response from the operator: We’re so happy to hear how magical your time with Mrs. Pea was! From the warm welcome and garden tour to learning about the foundations of Thai cooking and preparing those delicious dishes together, it sounds like such a special and memorable day. We love that your whole family, from the kids to your daughter, felt included and enjoyed the experience. Mrs. Pea will be so touched by your kind words, and we know she’ll be thrilled to welcome you back the next time you’re in Chiang Mai. Thank you for sharing such a wonderful review!
