César, your English expert in Thailand, is passionate about food and authentic homestay experiences.

Learn to prepare iconic recipes passed down through generations, discovering the unique balance of Thai flavors: fresh herbs, subtle spices, simple techniques, and local methods.

From the local market to your host's garden, discover the origin of ingredients, their selection, and their role in Northern cuisine for a complete culinary experience.

A convivial lunch featuring your creations offers a genuine opportunity for exchange, blending culinary stories, local culture, and Thai hospitality, all within an intimate and welcoming setting.


Discover the richness of Northern Thai cuisine in a warm and welcoming family atmosphere, right in the heart of Chiang mai. Your host will first take you to the local market, where residents shop every morning: freshly picked vegetables, aromatic herbs, homemade curries, exotic fruits… It’s a chance to learn how to identify the products, their benefits, and their uses in traditional cooking.
Once back at your host’s home, you’ll head to the kitchen and prepare several typical dishes, which you’ll have chosen yourself according to your tastes. Your host will share their recipes, techniques, personal tips, and know-how passed down through generations. Between courses, enjoy the herb garden, smell the Thai basil, pick a kaffir lime, and discover the importance of local ingredients in balancing flavors.
Finally, it’s time to share: you’ll enjoy your creations together around a convivial table, exchanging ideas about the culture, daily life, and traditions of Chiang mai. A genuine and warm experience, much more than just a cooking class: an open door to the gastronomic soul of Thailand.
