Great experience with excellent instruction  - Arm picked us up as scheduled and took us to the lock market to make pad thai and we made a green and red curry along with tom yum soup... read more and finished off with mango sticky rice! Delicious and a highlight of our trip to Thailand. Arm was very helpful and made it a fun experience. Highly recommend it!

  This was the best cooking class I’ve ever taken. Arm (Nitipong Moong-njern), the instructor, is a culinary school graduate who worked in a 5* restaurant but chose the more intimate... read more setting of his home for teaching. He picked us up at our hotel and then took us and another couple to a morning produce market. There he explained what we were seeing, informing us how to pick produce at its peak, as he picked out the foods we were going to learn how to cook. He’s Eco-conscious, bringing his own containers and returning the little plastic bags offered by the venders. His house is adequately equipped with six burners in the kitchen even though he specializes in group sizes from 2 to 4. His helper prepped all the food and cleaned up afterwards. We each made our version of the six or seven on the menu which is so much better than being part of a team and only knowing a part of the process.
Arm is a great teacher, demonstrating techniques before expecting us to do them. He was always near, offering feedback and assistance in the most positive way. He’s traveled around Asia sampling other cuisines, and he asks interested, friendly questions of us. Often there is a little chuckle to his language revealing to me a happy, contented person. At the end, he gave us his full color cookbook which we will treasure. A day well spent in ChiangMai!

  Arm was a fantastic chef and host. This was the first thing we did after arriving in Thailand, and two weeks later it's still our favorite experience. Highly recommended.
