Itinerary

Swap the city’s bustle for a peaceful escape to a scenic organic farm just 17 km from Chiang Mai, with round-trip transfers provided for your convenience. Choose between a morning or afternoon session to suit your schedule. Your experience begins with a guided tour of a vibrant local market, where you’ll explore exotic spices, fragrant herbs, and fresh produce, handpicking key ingredients for your journey. Upon arrival at the farm, stroll through lush gardens filled with organic herbs, vegetables, and fruits, gathering fresh ingredients straight from nature. With expert instructors, step into your personal cooking station to prepare five authentic dishes—including a rich curry, fragrant soup, stir-fried noodles, and a traditional dessert. Craft your own curry paste using a mortar and pestle, customizing flavors to your taste, whether mild or spicy.
