Discovering a country through its food is so magical. Though learning about those dishes and how to recreate them at home so transport you back every time you make them. Even with such powerful flavors, Thai food is relatively easy to make with few ingredients actually required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking a cooking class is also an activity suitable for all age ranges. Whether you are backpacking solo or a couple traveling the area a cooking class will get you mingling with others and further your understanding of the country. Chiang Mai is also one of those popular cooking class destinations in Asia. I mean if you are keen to do a cooking class in Thailand why not do it in Chiang Mai where the majority of ingredients are grown locally?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dishes\">What Dishes You May Cook During Your Vegetarian Cooking Class In Chiang Mai<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You won&#8217;t just be cooking one dish at the cooking school. You will cook a wide variety of dishes which will give you a good overview of the cuisine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly all cooking schools will have you making an appetizer, stirfry, soup, curry, and dessert. Each one will have three or so different options which you can choose from. That way you can make food that you know you will enjoy. For example, for stirfry, you may have the choice of various <a href=\"https:\/\/parenthoodandpassports.com\/best-thai-dishes-foods-to-try-thailand\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thai dishes<\/a> including pad thai, fried cashew nut, pad see ew, or fried drunken noodles. Though these exact dishes will likely vary between cooking schools and some may choose dishes that the region is famous for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-15948 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-3.jpg\" alt=\"making cashew nut tofu in my vegetarian cooking class in chiang mai\" class=\"wp-image-15948\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-3-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-3-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-3-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ingredients for a delicious cashew nut tofu: mushrooms, baby corn, carrot, tofu, chili, cashews, garlic, and sauce<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"best\">The Best Vegetarian Cooking Classes In Chiang Mai<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>\nSo now let&#8217;s get into my list of the best vegetarian cooking classes in Chiang Mai.

Located within the walls of the old town they are in a super convenient location. After being picked up you will be taken to the Chiang Mai Gate Local market. Once here, you will learn about different types of Thai ingredients and buy some which will be used in the cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the cooking school, you will be taught how to make 6 different dishes. This consists of an appetizer, dessert, Akha dish, stirfry, soup, and curry. What makes Thai Akha cooking school different than the rest is the opportunity to make a local Akha dish. Your choices are Sapi Thong, Akha Soup, or Akha Salad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost:<\/strong> $35.00 per person <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"green\">Green Mango Thai Cookery School<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in a beautiful green garden the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tripadvisor.co.nz\/AttractionProductReview-g15518237-d11484983-Full_Day_Hands_on_Thai_Cooking_Class_in_a_Garden_in_Chiang_Mai-Hang_Dong_Hang_Do.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Mango Thai Cookery School<\/a> is a popular choice when cooking a cooking class in Chiang Mai. They will pick you up from your hotel in the morning and transfer you to the cooking school in the district of Hang Dong. This is about 20 minutes out of the city center, surrounded by bamboo and rice fields. Once here, enjoy a bit of peace and tranquility as you a given a welcome tea to relax and sip on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The menu consists of 6 dishes of your choice which will be decided on the day depending on your preferences. The cooking class does offer meat dishes which you can substitute for alternative vegetarian or vegan options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two things that make Green Mago Thai Cookery School stand out above the rest. The first is low-class numbers. During the high season, there is only a max of 6 people in a class, and in the low season 2-4 people. The second is that nearly all of their ingredients are homemade. The only 2 things which aren&#8217;t are fish sauce (which we don&#8217;t need to worry about) and coconut sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost:<\/strong> $44.00 per person <\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"may\">May Kaidee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t want to be the person to substitute meat and ingredients in your dishes then why not take the vegan &amp; vegetarian cooking class with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maykaidee.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">May Kidee<\/a>.

This consists of soup, curry, appetizer, stirfry, and dessert.<strong>Cost:<\/strong> $34.00\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"aro\">Aromdii Cooking School<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I personally booked my vegetarian cooking class in Chiang Mai with <a href=\"https:\/\/aromdiicooking.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Aromdii Cooking School<\/a>. What made me do this was that they would allow me to substitute meat for tofu and also swap out ingredients I don&#8217;t like such as onion. As my partner is a meat eater this allowed us to do the same class rather than be separated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will go into my experience at Aromdii Cooking School further below. Though we did a market visit and made 5 separate dishes. An appetizer, soup, stirfry, curry, and dessert. The cooking school is located just outside the old town in a local suburb. It&#8217;s a beautiful bamboo building with a passionate owner running it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost:<\/strong> $25.00 \/ 800 THB <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-15951 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-6.jpg\" alt=\"mango sticky rice and boy making a curry paste during a cooking class in chiang mai\" class=\"wp-image-15951\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-6.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-6-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-6-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-6-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">making mango sticky rice at my vegetarian cooking class in chiang mai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tri\">Trichada Cookery Home<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Discover incredible Northern Thailand cuisine with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/trichadathecookeryhome\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trichada Cookery Home<\/a>. Unlike other cooking schools which offer dishes from all around Thailand such as green curry and pad thai, here they only offer dishes from the region. Food in Northern <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/3-weeks-in-thailand-itinerary\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thailand<\/a> is absolutely delicious and learning the techniques and ingredients it takes to make such dishes is an amazing experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They will pick you up from your accommodation in the city and take you to one of the local markets.

After a bit of shopping, you will then arrive at Trichada Cookery Home and will receive a welcome drink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout the class, you will learn to cook 5 individual meals.

They allowed me to substitute the meat in dishes with tofu and alter ingredients based on my preferences. Perfect for those fussy eaters like myself, and everything still turned out delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Backpacking Chiang Mai also meant I was on a budget. This is one of the cheaper cooking classes in the city without forgoing any experience. We still cooked 5 dishes each and were left absolutely stuffed with no room to fit anything else in. All for the extremely reasonable price of $25.00.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though lets get into each element of the cooking class with Aromadii so you can see whether it could be a suitable option for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how\">Visiting The Market To Purchase Food<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After being picked up in the back of a pickup truck, a private songthaew-type thing, we made our way to the local market. There was another couple in the cooking class, so four of us total. A nice small number for an intimate experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the market, we were given little woven baskets to put the purchases in. We went around and grabbed some staple vegetables and herbs. Our guide and teacher, Nok, showed the Thai versions of common ingredients such as eggplants. Whereas the local version is small green and oval-shaped. Quite different from what we are used to. We also picked up my favorite, tofu, which I added to my little basket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter wp-image-15952 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/the-best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-1.jpg\" alt=\"shopping in the markets with different mushrooms and vegetables in chiang mai\" class=\"wp-image-15952\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/the-best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/the-best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-1-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/the-best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-1-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/the-best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">checking out some of the different types of mushrooms at a market in chiang mai. yes those 3 lower baskets are all different types of mushrooms!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Cooking With Aromdii Cooking School<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pulling up a short 5-minute drive out of the old town we pilled out of the back of the pickup truck and into a large area enclosed by bamboo walls. Here was the cooking class. Across the room, there were numerous cooking stations and space for a lot more than the four of us. In the corner was a seating area set up where we would obviously be enjoying our meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Putting on some aprons and making our way to the first cooking station we got ready to start cooking our first dish. Nok put aside the relevant ingredients. My first dish is stir-fried cashew nut. This is one of my favorite dishes and was surprisingly super easy to make! After cooking we made our way to the table where to could enjoy our dishes while they are fresh and hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, we made the appetizer and I choose to do spring rolls. Using the fresh ingredients Nok helped me wrap them ready to be deep-fried. We then also began making the soup. My choice was a coconut tofu soup which I had never had before but was absolutely delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main dishes was green curry. We also created a curry paste from scratch by using grinding up certain herbs and spices in a mortar and pestle. Then they were fried up in the wok along with eggplant and my tofu before adding coconut cream.\nLastly was dessert and I choose mango sticky rice. A staple for travelers making their way around Thailand. A simple but delicious meal to make and an icon you will leave the country in love with.\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-15950 size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-5.jpg\" alt=\"vegetarian massaman curry\" class=\"wp-image-15950\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-5.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-5-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-5-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/best-vegetarian-cooking-class-chiang-mai-5-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">the final product; a delicious massaman curry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"other\">Other Important Tips For Taking A Vegetarian Cooking Class In Chiang Mai<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are my top tips for booking a vegetarian cooking class in Chiang Mai. That way you can make the most out of your experience and find one which suits you best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>I highly recommend shopping around for a cooking class to find one with a menu that suits you. Alternatively, look for a cooking class that is more flexible in substituting ingredients. This way you will only be making food that you absolutely love.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Think about the environment you want to be cooking in. Do you mind being in the city center? Or would you prefer to be surrounded by the nature in the countryside where the ingredients would&#8217;ve been grown?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most cooking classes offer a morning session or an afternoon session. Therefore you can fit it perfectly into your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/3-days-in-chiang-mai-itinerary\/\">Chiang Mai itinerary<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lastly, don&#8217;t worry about booking your cooking class in advance. You will be able to book no worries once you are in Chiang Mai.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>How I Book Cheap Transport In Thailand: <a href=\"https:\/\/12go.asia\/?z=703961\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">12Go Asia<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stay\">Where To Stay In Chiang Mai?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When choosing where to stay in Chiang Mai you are spoilt for choice; with countless 5-star resorts, locally run guesthouses, and hostels. No matter your budget or the type of traveler you are there is something to fit all your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I mainly choose to stay within the confines of the Old City when deciding where to stay in Chiang Mai. This is definitely the best location if you are staying for a short period or this is your first time visiting. Though, if you are thinking about living in Chiang Mai you will want to stay further afield in such places as Nimman. The Old City is within walking distance of many beautiful temples, excellent shopping, delicious restaurants, and the famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/chiang-mai-sunday-night-market-thailand\/\">Sunday Night Market<\/a>. Have you checked out my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.backpackerswanderlust.com\/3-days-in-chiang-mai-itinerary\/\">3 days in Chiang Mai itinerary<\/a> yet?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On my most recent visit, I stayed at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/th\/de-lanna.en.html?aid=1197179&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">De Lanna Hotel<\/a>. This is a mid-range hotel located in the heart of Old City. The location was fantastic and having a pool to enjoy during the afternoon heat was fantastic. Though on the complete opposite side, I also stayed in the cheapest available hostel on my first visit. The owner was great, but the facilities were less than, and I think it&#8217;s probably a good thing it&#8217;s shut down now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here are my top picks for the backpacking Chiang Mai travel guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"aligncenter\" width=\"700\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\" width=\"350\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5705\" src=\"https:\/\/cf.bstatic.com\/xdata\/images\/hotel\/max1280x900\/94193076.jpg?k=35b7ffd2a4e45715cdb00aae60f07acb769edbd82fe7895ea3014d2cea7b2c32&#038;o=&#038;hp=1\" alt=\"the common hostel\" width=\"350\" height=\"234\" title=\"\">\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.booking.com\/hotel\/th\/slow-poke-poshtel-by-bed.en.html?aid=1197179&amp;no_rooms=1&amp;group_adults=1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Common Hostel<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">A modern and upscale hostel.
