Morning Thai Cooking with Grandma - Market Visit & Farm Tour

4.9(172)4 hFree cancellationBy Grandmas Home Cooking School

About this activity

Unlike standard cooking schools, this class combines a lively local market visit with an authentic organic farm experience. Guests don’t just cook — they also feed and hug chickens, collect eggs, and explore a mushroom hut before heading to a cozy open-air kitchen. What makes it truly special is the focus on knowledge and culture: our instructors explain Thai herbs, spices, sauces, and traditions in detail, so you leave not only with delicious dishes but also with a deeper understanding of Thai cuisine and daily life. With small group sizes and hands-on guidance, it feels more like joining a family meal than attending a class.
