Thai Akha Cooking School Chiang Mai Authentic Thai & Akha Cooking Class
Experience one of Chiang Mai’s most unique culinary adventures at Thai Akha Cooking School, where traditional Thai cuisine meets the rich heritage of the Akha hill tribe. This hands-on cooking class begins with a visit to a local market (morning program) to discover fresh herbs, vegetables, spices, and local ingredients before heading to the open-air kitchen. Guided by experienced local chefs, you’ll prepare authentic dishes from scratch while learning traditional cooking techniques and the stories behind every recipe.
Unlike most cooking schools, Thai Akha Cooking School combines classic Thai favorites with authentic Akha family recipes that are rarely found outside Northern Thailand. During the class you’ll prepare 10 different dishes plus homemade curry paste, with vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian, and other dietary options available. Every participant has their own cooking station, receives hotel transfers, and enjoys all of the meals prepared during the class.
