Baan Thai Cookery School

We visited the Baan Thai, Thai Cookery School in Chiang Mai. We recommend this cooking school because it was completely hands on, had a small class size and even included a local market tour! The Baan Thai slogan is "enjoy cooking in an easy and friendly atmosphere" and this is exactly what we experienced. The instructors were very friendly and funny as well. The class is limited to nine people so each person in the class gets one-on-one instruction(which was good for Parker's cooking skills!)
We got to select which six dishes we prepared from six different categories.

1. Red Curry Paste
2. Green Curry Paste
3. Panaeng Curry Paste
