A short list rather than a long one. These 15 farm visits are the ones that hold up, each with its price, its running time, and the detail that ends up deciding it.

“My day trip was so much fun and insightful! I love the culinary arts, so exploring Thailand through a cooking class was a MUST for me. This class certainly delivered! The transportation arrived at my hotel promptly and the ride was smooth. The class is in a beautiful outdoor kitchen. Our instructor Bryan was so knowledgeable and personable as he guided us through every step. I’m definitely glad I didn’t eat before the class because you certainly make a decent amount of food!”

“We did the group tour in April. It was a great trip. Our guide was great, spoke good English and managed to get us to the Railway Market about 20mins before a train came in. It was cool to see it transform from a market to a train track. After the train passed, we had time to shop (seemed like a good place for good price souvenirs) and there was a local toilet (guide helped to show me where the toilet was). The Floating Market was a brilliant experience; we bought a beer from a boat that was going in the opposite direction (which was lots of fun). There are…”
Hands-on Thai cooking at The Rice Barn in Chiang Mai: market tour, A/C pickup, English instruction, and recipe e-book for $28.
“What a great value and amazing time. I highly recommend this farm and cooking class. Katie and Gabbi were awesome guides and teachers. They created a fun group environment and the facility was clean and orderly. You’ll learn to make delicious food and get a class in the culture and history of Thai food, while getting to enjoy all the delicious meals as you do. I attended as a solo traveler and made friends very quickly but everything is cooked individually if you’re looking for a more reserved to yourself experience. I would certainly book again.”
