Authentic Thai Cooking Class in Chiang Mai
with a Personal Touch
Choosing where to learn Thai cooking in Chiang Mai can feel overwhelming—there are many schools, many menus, and many promises. But at Asia Scenic Thai Cooking School, your experience begins with something simple and sincere: a personal touch.
Hosted by Gayle & Family since 2007, Asia Scenic offers two unique settings for your cooking journey:
a Secret Garden in the Old City, and an Organic Farm Retreat in the peaceful countryside.
Each location carries its own charm, but both share the same heart—warmth, creativity, and authentic Thai culture.
Organic Farm Escape – Garden to Table in Chiang Mai
For nature lovers, our countryside class offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by rice fields, open skies, and organic produce.
It’s the most scenic farm-to-table cooking class in Chiang Mai, designed for slow-life travelers, couples, and photography lovers seeking a deeper connection to nature.
Old City Sanctuary – Just a Short Walk from Thapae Gate
Convenience meets creativity in our Old Town class, located within walking distance from Thapae Gate.
This class is ideal for travelers who prefer comfort and flexibility.
Here, you’ll find a true kitchen garden in the middle of the city, where you can pick fresh herbs before cooking. With morning and evening sessions available, it’s perfect for solo travelers, families, and anyone with limited time.
You Choose, We Guide — Our Special Touch
At most cooking schools, menus are fixed. But Asia Scenic is different.
- We don’t follow fixed menus.
- You cook what you love.
Your teacher guides you with creativity and care, ensuring that every dish reflects your taste and your curiosity.
This freedom is the heart of our school—and one of the reasons countless travelers return to cook with us again.
Where Cooking Becomes a Story
It is a home. A garden. A kitchen full of stories.
Here, you don’t just learn recipes—you learn culture. You don’t just chop vegetables—you understand their roots. And you don’t just eat—you experience Thailand with all your senses.
Whether you join us in town or at the farm, you become part of our Asia Scenic family, where every dish is a memory and every moment is crafted with heart.
I’ve never believed I’m the best but I will try to be the best for you...

We had a great time at the "Asia Scenic Thai Cooking School" and would highly recommend it to anyone! We were picked up at our hotel by our guide (and teacher) 'A' who was friendly, knowledgeable and explained everything really well to us all. We had fun at the morning market with 'A', being shown different fresh and dried ingredients, and how to use them in Thai cooking. Once we got to the cooking school, we had fun preparing and cooking all the different dishes (and of course eating them!). If you're travelling as kids, don't hesitate to take part, we had our two (15 and 12 years old) and they were also included in all the activities and had fun cooking their own dishes and looked as they were really proud over what they had achieved. We cooked so many dishes that the main problem at the end of the lesson was that we were too full to finish it all (hint, if doing the morning class, don't have breakfast). Overall, we had a great time and would recommend this to anyone wanting to stay inside Chiang Mai whilst doing a cooking class. And lastly, a big thank you to 'A' for making it such a great and memorable experience for us!

Wir haben einen absolut tollen Kochkurs hier besucht. Es machte wirklich super viel Spaß und durch die ganzen Erklärungen und gute Unterstützung durch unsere Kochchefin Kade wurde auch alles super. Passt nur auf beim selbst dosieren der Chilis - jeder entscheidet selbst über die schärfe.... Ich war übermütig 😅. Toll organisiert, durchstrukturiert mit viel individuellen Anpassung an können und Interesse 👍.

We had the absolute best experience - our cooking instructor "Thai" was amazing, so energetic, funny, and made it easy to follow. The food was delicious too.
