Reviews
Loved by Travelers from Around the Globe
Read genuine feedback from guests who cooked with Oun and Kae in Chiang Mai.
Oun has so much knowledge and experience and it really shows as he walks you through the market and teaches you the dishes. Oun and his wife are so welcoming and kind, and the cooking class takes place in their home which is so special. Everything ran smoothly and I really enjoyed learning from Oun, I definitely recommend this class if you’re in Chiang Mai.
Something special about cooking in Chef Ohun's home (best location near city center with market visit so close by no long drives). Initimate classes with individual cooking stations, and every foodie question about spices and flavors are answered with patience and expertise in perfect English. WARNING: do not eat before arrival! We got to enjoy each fabulous course we just cooked while it was still hot. So good, you will stuff yourself!
We had a wonderful time with Un and his wife. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcome. Their kindness, warmth and simple hospitality made the whole experience feel like sharing a meal with friends rather than taking a cooking class.
Everything is very well organised, while remaining relaxed and accessible to everyone, even if you are not an experienced cook. Un explains everything clearly and makes cooking Thai food seem easy and enjoyable.
And of course, all the dishes we prepared were absolutely aroi — delicious! 😋
A truly lovely experience that we would highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic, friendly and convivial Thai cooking class.
Thank you, Un and your wife, for this wonderful moment!

What a great cooking class! The chef is really passionate: it's his job, and he shares his passion with a lot of generosity and enthusiasm. The dishes are hearty, delicious, and the recipes are accessible to everyone, even beginners. A great time, both friendly and gourmet. I highly recommend it!
Honestly the most amazing morning. Perfect from start to finish. Very clear instructions in perfect English. Highly recommended!
We had a great time with Oun as our cook. The market was nice to see and highly recommend this class. Instructions were clear and we got pictures and a recipe book afterwards for free!
Oun was our driver and chef for the day and he was a delight! He made everything enjoyable and easy for the students.
The chef and his wife are just amazing. We had a great time, laughed a lot and cooked absolutely delicious dishes.
Really great in-depth instruction on how to cook the very best Thai dishes. Oun is a very witty and very funny cooking master. 11/10 would attend again!
Thank you so much, Oun and Kae for a wonderful experience. The recipes and food are 'Aroy' (delicious) and the company was delightful. We will see you next time we are in Chiang Mai!

We had a really exciting and funny time at the Tom Yum Thai Cooking School. Finally, I know how to cook typical Thai dishes and I hope I will find all the ingredients back home. Thanks a lot for that special day!

Delicious food and a wonderful teacher. This was a much smaller, more intimate class. We had a great time and learned so much about authentic Thai flavors.
