Learn How To Cook Authentic Thai Food In Chiang Mai, Thailand

Learning how to cook Thai food from a passionate chef

Yui’s cooking class is unlike others you may have taken in the past. Yui’s practice is showing you how to cook one dish, and then you go to your station to prepare the meal. After you complete the dish, you sit with everyone and eat it while it’s hot, before you move on to the next.

During her teaching, Yui explains each ingredient she uses and will show you tips and tricks on how to chop and peel each one. In the full-day course, you will learn how to make six traditional dishes. There are different dishes made on each day of the week.

Check her schedule to see which one you’d like to learn. If you don’t have time to take her full-day course, you can book her half-day lesson where you will learn three dishes.

Tour the market during a mid-class break

After learning how to make three dishes, you will take a break and head to a local market where Yui will talk you through more of the ingredients and tell you how to pick them from the market and what to look for.

During this time, you can also grab a fruit smoothie or coffee as a nice intermittent refreshment. The market tour lasts about 40 minutes then it’s off to cook the last three dishes of the day back at her home.

Gordon Ramsay’s Great Escape

Yui was featured on Gordon Ramsay’s “Gordon’s Great Escape: Thailand” in 2010. After the show had been aired, Yui was offered her own cooking show, which she turned down.

Yui is very passionate about cooking and teaching others her skills. She prefers to teach classes directly to you instead of through a big production. She also doesn’t advertise and all promotion is through word-of-mouth.
