Loved this small course - My husband and I took this class with Arm and 2 other guests. It was a great day, from the experience in the morning market, to cooking several Thai dishes... read more and getting to eat them. 🙂 The whole experience was very relaxing and it felt more like we were cooking dinner with a friend in his home than it did a class, although I learned so much. Arm sends you home with a cookbook of the dishes you made plus a few others so you don’t forget all of the ingredients and steps to make it in your own. Arm was a great host and gave us lots of feedback and was great at answering questions. I’m looking forward to making authentic Thai food in my own kitchen at home.

  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!

  Awesome Northern Thai Cooking experience! - We spent half day with the chef (Arm) cooking Northern Thai cuisine and it was such an unforgettable experience!

We started off with a market tour where Arm explained... read more and answer our questions patiently. Then we went to his small house, which is a cosy, clean house to start our cooking class!

He is so encouraging which helps us a lot in learning to cook the dishes since both of us are novice cooks. Arm is so friendly as we had many conversations at the table and get to know more about him and the food culture of Chiang Mai.

He even dropped us to our next stop! Such hospitality in cooking classes couldn't be found anywhere! Thank you Arm!
