I met a guy in Koh Lipe who told me cooking classes in Chiang Mai are a must and recommended Smile. The tour started with a market stop to shop for ingredients before going to the farm where additional produce is picked from their gardens. Instruction for 4 meal options in 3 categories – curry, stir fried and soup- are offered before being assigned to a cooking station. I learned how to make curry paste, panaeng curry, pad thai, hot and sour soup and spring rolls.
