What should I bring to my cooking class in Chiang Mai?

• Bring a notebook and pen for taking notes on recipes and techniques.

• Consider bringing a reusable water bottle to stay hydrated during the class.

• If you have a favourite chef's knife or cooking tools, you may bring them, but check with the school first.

• Sunscreen and a hat are recommended if the class includes outdoor activities, such as market visits.

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.
