Additional Information

Smile Organic Farm is not your typical cooking school. We are nestled within a tranquil organic farmland and garden where we don’t just instruct you on Thai cuisine but also on cultivating vegetables and recognizing herbs from our own garden. You also get to cook and savour your meals amidst the calming environment. Our farmstead is situated about 45 minutes from the historic city, Chiang Mai, in close proximity to the San Kamphaeng Hot Springs. Enroute to our school, we make a pit stop at a local marketplace. This allows you to witness firsthand the rustic lifestyle of the countryside residents of Chiang Mai. Our thriving kitchen garden, nurtured with love and care with the aim of promoting good health, is the source of all our ingredients. We use these freshly harvested ingredients to whip up nutritious Thai meals and also provide them for your culinary creations. We accommodate vegetarian and vegan dietary choices. Our educators are proficient, friendly and offer individualized guidance. Our recipes not only offer health benefits but are also simple enough to recreate at home. As part of our course, students are provided with an e-book containing all the recipes via email.

An Exceptional Culinary Experience - Attending smile organic cooking class was an extraordinary experience! Our guide Julie was sensational — her warm welcome and extensive knowledge made us feel right at home. The class included a visit to a local market and a home garden, adding an authentic touch to the cooking process. We learned to prepare a variety of dishes, including spring rolls, soup, Pad Thai, salad, and Mango Sticky Rice. But one was able to chose many different options. Each dish was a delight, and the cooking process was both educational and fun. Julie’s clear and patient teaching style made it easy for everyone to follow along. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, ensuring a positive and memorable experience. We highly recommend Julie and her cooking class to anyone seeking an exceptional culinary adventure.

Best Thai Cooking Class!!!! - Had the most amazing day at this class. Julie our instructor was so friendly, welcoming and funny and made it really simple to follow along with the recipes. Learnt so much about how they grow and prepare their food, made 6 different dishes including a curry, a soup, spring rolls, a salad and a dessert, which you are able to choose from a whole menu of dishes depending on your preference. We also got to make the curry paste and had a Thai herbal tea. We were able to eat the food throughout the day or take it home instead. There were 12 of us in the class but Julie made sure to pay attention to everyone and get the whole group chatting and involved. Would recommend this class to everyone, great value for money and an unforgettable experience. Thank you so much!!

Fantastic... - What a great experience my sister and I had with our group and our instructor; "LOVE". I lived in Bangkok for a long time and have cooked thai dishes before using cook books which are often not true versions. It was fun watching and cooking at SMILE COOKING SCHOOL who use authentic recipes. I would highly recommend this activity when visiting Chiang Mai and especially at this cooking school. L.C

Great Thai Cuisine Learning Experience - Experience with smile organic farming cooking school was amazing Our instructor “Cici” was pretty cool and amazing..She taught us various delirious dishes like fried rice, spring rolls, hot and creamy soup, green curry and paste, papaya salad, mango sticky rice. They took us to local market and taught us about all those ingredients which we had to use in our today’s class and then we went to their farm for our cooking lessons..There they grow vegetables, flowers, etc.. I would specially give credit to the whole team for their management- starting from the cab pick up and drop service, asking about allergies and consuming the travel time by explaining the dishes, to systematic arrangement of the cooking material arranged side by side and cleaning the table as soon as one dish gets over and preparing the counter for the next set of dishes. They have all the basic amenities like washroom, hand wash basin, separate area for keeping our luggage, etc Well done👍🏻 Kudos to the team of smile organic farming cooking class👍🏻👍🏻

I want to make Thai food at home. - If you're staying at a hotel in the city, they will pick you up and drop you off. The course is in English, but since the teacher also speaks English as a foreign language, he speaks slowly and you can understand if you watch, so it's not too much of a problem. The one-day course includes curry & curry paste, soup, stir-fry, salad, dessert, spring rolls and an herbal drink. It's quite filling, so you can take it home in a plastic bag, Thai style. On the way to the classroom, we stopped at a market to learn about vegetables and seasonings, and we were introduced to the herbs behind the cooking class, so I was able to learn the essence of Thai cooking.
