Highly recommend to engage Small House for a private Thai cooking lesson!

Chef name is Arm. He will pick up/drop off from our hotel. Part of the cooking experience is a visit to a local market to buy the basic ingredients to be used for the cooking lesson. Chef will explain to us the different types of fruits, herbs, spices, meat etc at the market, and it was definitely nice interacting and seeing the local’s way of life.

When we arrived at chef's Small House for the cooking class, everything was neat, clean and
efficient. Ingredients were laid out for each session and we just had to follow the simple instructions. A recipe book was given to us at the end of the lesson. Arm was also patient and encouraging along the way.

Truely enjoyed our 3 hours in his house learning to cook simple northern thai food. Do sign up with him!

I had the pleasure of joining Arm's cooking class during my Chiang Mai visit. Such a lovely experience! I was looking for a more genuine, hands-on class where I can really learn some tips and tricks about Thai cuisine, and I'm happy to have found what I want. Arm is such a nice and kind person, he explained all the dishes and gave us just enough direction during the class, and the small group (we were 4) made it feel really authentic. In total we cooked 5 dishes, the class took around 4 hours. Everything was well planned yet genuine, I can totally recommend if you're interested in joining an authentic Thai cooking class.

I can highly recommend this cooking course! It was well thought through and felt really personal (max. of 4 people). Arm picked us up from our hotel and brought us to an authentic food market where we shopped a few items and tried some food. We then headed to his house and cooked some delicious Thai dishes and tasted local fruits and vegetables. At the end, we even got a recipe book to try replicate the meals at home. Arm is a great teacher and we enjoyed every minute of his class! Thank you so much, Arm! 🙃

Great if you want an authentic hands on small group Thai cooking class.

Started the day going to a local food market to get the ingredients, we tasted 1 or 2 items there too

Then we went to Arm (the Chef)'s home to cook.
We tried lots of local fruits and herbs 🌿

Cooking began soon after with clear instructions.
We each had our own station to prepare the food and we're shown all the steps.

Everything was effectient and the kitchen setup was professional.

We used lots of local thai ingredients and the food turned out great under the chef Arms guidedance 👨‍🍳

You can spice the food to a level of your choosing

The room is air conditioned too, so its comfortable and not too hot

Questions are encouraged and Chef Arm is very knowledgeable.

Great experience 🍜

Amazing cooking class! Arm is a great teacher and lovely person. We went to the market with him, he showed us different ingredients and made us try different types of streetfood. The cooking class then takes place in his home, a warm and welcoming place where we had an amazing time learning 6 different recipes of Thai and Northern Thai cuisine. With his assistant, the class is extremely well organized and goes very smoothly. Arm is very patient and you actually learn a lot. Everything was incredibly tasty and we will surely cook it at home again! We couldn’t recommend this class more, it’s a must-do!

Having done classes in larger settings, we found Arm’s approach to teaching Thai cuisine a breath of fresh air. Four people per group, starting with a great market visit for fresh ingredients. The cooking was done in his home which made the experience quite relaxing. We cooked classic Thai recipes that were bursting in flavour in yet a light and simple way! Keep up the good work Arm and thank you for sharing your home and experiences.

We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with Arm. He is a wonderful teacher who creates a calm, relaxed atmosphere and explains and demonstrates everything so clearly. We learned a great deal, not just about Thai cuisine and cooking techniques but also about Thai culture. We found this an amazing experience, from start to finish. The food we prepared was delicious. Highly recommended!

Great cooking experience with Arm. We really learned how to make delicious north Thailand dishes. We could ask any questions and Arm explained a lot about the food and many more interesting information. Thank you!

An absolutely incredible experience! Wherever we go now, we sing Arm's praises and do his PR for him, because this was absolutely the BEST cooking class ever. Arm was kind, patient and with a great sense of humour. He introduced us to Thai fruits, spices and methods of making the key Northern Thai dishes. We particularly enjoyed browsing through the market together, pointing out things and asking questions. It also wasn't one of the classes where you just chop ingredients and other people do the actual cooking - with Arm, we made our food from the beginning to finish, making us feel ever prouder. Just incredible. Thank you to Arm and to his assistant for the superb afternoon that we will remember forever!

We had a wonderful day with Arm. It was a truly non-touristy experience — he made a real effort to introduce us to all the ingredients we were going to use in our cooking. He was attentive to all our needs, our tastes, and how much we wanted to eat. He bought all the typical Thai fruits for us to try.

His house is surrounded by fresh herbs and spices that he uses in his recipes. You can tell he’s genuinely passionate about what he does. He also gave us lots of great tips on what to visit and where to get an amazing Thai massage.

He took us to a local market where we bought all the ingredients together, with plenty of explanations along the way.

Highly recommended — we truly hope to see him again one day. He’s a fantastic person!

Great cooking class with Arm, who is kind and educational. After visiting the market, we went to his house to cook 7 different dishes (5 each). It was a great time, especially since there were only 4 of us. I recommend it!

I had a wonderful time with Pook Yves and his staff.
We were very well received, the quality, the good humor, and of course, the dishes were excellent.
Communicating with Yves via email was very simple and easy, even several months in advance. It was an unforgettable moment, and I'll be back as soon as I can.
Thank you 🥰

We had a wonderful experience! Arm is very friendly, leads the class with a very good pace, demonstrating the steps and explaining the ingredients. He never takes more than 4 people which created a perfect vibe. We loved cooking all the dishes and learning a lot about thai cuisine and ingredients. Speaking of ingredients, we visited a fresh market in the outskirts of chiang mai before the class, which was also a great experience as it was more spacious and less crowded than the markets in the old town. Arm showed a lot of interest in the food from our home countries as well, it was great to share the love for food among the 5 of us while enjoying the fruits of our labor in the kitchen. We will definitely take the learnings with us and recreate the recipes back at home. Khawp khun kha and bom apetite!

had a northern Thai cooking class today. I learned so much in the three hours. I was in the kitchen. We made individual courses and then sat down to eat straight away. I was stuffed, but couldn't resist finishing every dish. Arm, The instructor, is very talented and certainly knows his way around the kitchen. He was very patient and showed me lots of different techniques. Probably one of the best cooking classes I've ever done

We were keen to do a cookery course whilst in Chiang Mai. After looking at reviews we chose Arm's Small House. This was a great choice. Arm picked us up from our hotel and we picked up another couple before visiting the city's food market. Once our shopping of fresh ingredients was done we headed back to Arm's place where we were gently guided through 5 dishes, each preparing and cooking our own food. A wonderful experience. Thank you Arm.

We had an amazing time! Arm took us to the market and explained all intricacies of thai ingredients, then we went to his house to cook. Very intimate experience as it’s max for 4 people, we learnt a lot and loved our time! Arm even gave us a cook book afterwards and shared many recommendations of places to see around

Arm was so great! We had a blast learning about the local produce at the market and how things were processed for cooking/consumption. He was very knowledgeable and willing to answer any/all questions we had about food and anything in general.
The cooking was simple yet comprehensive and all our dishes turned out well, hopefully we'll be able to bring some of the great tastes of Thailand home with us! Arm's cookbook as a bonus!
I was also very impressed he spoke very good English and seemed to know Japanese well.
It was also quite nice he picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel.

					  Prefect! YUM! - We had a great time with the chef (Arm).  When booking we were asked what particular menu we wanted (northern or southern)- we chose northern since we were in... read more the north! Arm picked us up at our hotel and we joined another couple for a full day vegetarian cooking class.  Off to Arm's favourite local market where he showed us various produce and where we purchased the materials for our day's session. Then a short drive to his home where we began our multi course session.  The explanations were perfect, lots of hands on and we ate everything we made. He customized each of our meals for those who preferred (or not) spicy food! Yum. Perfect.  Would do it again.

					  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!

					  Wonderful intro to Thai cooking and food shopping - My husband and I took the intro class together and highly recommend it. Arm took us through the market, explained how to pick produce, and patiently answered all our questions.... read more He even purchased extra fruits because we were interested in trying them.

The class itself was wonderfully paced, alternating cooking and eating for about 5 hours. The food turned out delicious, and Arm was very accommodating to taste preferences (specifically an aversion to cucumber and fish sauce, which are prevalent in Thai food). Yes, he will encourage you to use lots of chilis - that's Thai cuisine. 

Being capped at 4 people, you really get a chance to chat with your classmates and with Arm. One of the best parts of the class was getting to chat with Arm as we ate.
