Answer
Absolutely! Chiang Mai is famous for its cooking classes, and many of them emphasize local northern Thai cuisine. One popular option is 'Baipai Thai Cooking School', where you can learn to make authentic dishes in a beautiful setting.
• Another great choice is 'Thai Farm Cooking School', which not only offers hands-on cooking lessons but also a tour of the organic farm where you can pick your own ingredients.
• These classes typically include a market tour to learn about local ingredients, plus you'll get to enjoy the delicious meals you prepare, making for a fun and fulfilling experience.
Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Choose by location, dietary needs, hygiene, atmosphere and the time you plan to visit rather than relying on a single "best" list. Menus, opening days and stall locations change, especially at markets and seasonal venues.
