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.
What Our Guests Say
Sue has made our day! Speaks perfect english, knows all the herbs and stuff, can cook (; and is so polite, helpful and patient with us and all the other "no-nothing-about-Thai-cooking-students", that the afternoon mid October 2026 was one highlight of our Thailand trip. Even our hard-to-get teenager kids were impressed. Food afterwards is sufficient in quantity and delicious in quality. Go, Sue, go!
I had such a lovely experience at Asia Scenic Cooking School! The class was fun, hands-on, and a really nice way to learn more about Thai food while actually making everything yourself. One of my favourite dishes was Miang Kham — it was absolutely delicious and probably one of the biggest surprises of the day. I also made Pad Kra Pao and Som Tam, and I loved getting to taste the dishes as we went and adjust the flavours to my preference. The whole experience felt relaxed, well organized, and memorable, and I especially enjoyed the farm setting. It was definitely one of the highlights of my time in Chiang Mai and I’d recommend it to anyone who wants more than just a meal and actually wants to learn about Thai cooking too. Thank you so much Kady
Fantastic experience, excellent food. Our host and top chef A was fun and engaging
