Asia Scenic

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.

  • Hosted by Gayle

    A traveler, teacher, and storyteller who has shared Thai culture with thousands of students for nearly two decades.

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...

It was an incredible experience! Our instructor A was very attentive and really took the time to explain everything to us patiently and vigorously to avoid too many mistakes. Do this in the morning, there are far fewer people and don't eat breakfast beforehand!

We had such a wonderful experience at Asia Scenic’s evening cooking class in Chiang Mai! The three of us joined the class with the guidance of Mr. A, who was friendly, patient and made the whole experience so enjoyable. We really loved learning about the different Thai spices, sauces and ingredients, and then getting to prepare some of our favourite Thai dishes ourselves. The whole process was fun, interactive and easy to follow. We had a great time cooking, learning and enjoying the food together. We left with **full stomachs and full hearts**! ❤️🇹🇭 Definitely one of the highlights of our Chiang Mai trip. Highly recommend this cooking class, especially with Mr. A! 🌟
