Buddha Raksa Nature Farm

We Booked this cooking class, because it looked like sth special and a bit different to the usual ones in the city (which we also enjoyed). Maes Husband picked us up and drove us to the Farm, which is a 40-50 min ride. We were lucky to be the only guests that day and where shown around the farm, could harvest stuff ourselves and then started cooking with mae and her mum. The whole experience was Great and interesting- its Not so much about a strict recipe and exact amounts (for that you find fitting classes in every other cooking school), its more about the pattern of the dish and how it comes together. We Really enjoyed it, Had a short Rest on the Beautiful Open worden House terace and finished the day with a Dessert and good Talks. Thank you!

After a warm and friendly welcome, we were led around the nice picked some fruit and spices, learned a lot about herbs (the differences between varieties of coriander, some types of lemongrasses…). The cooking class was perfectly prepared, we learned how to make a good kao soi and a fine tom sum. And banana in coconut milk. We sat and talked to the family, they speak English very well, Mae (who is an architect) has lived in Washington. Mae‘s mother then beat me in a game of darts, we sat and chatted and parted as friends. Do not miss it! To get there you should take a Grab to the dirt road where Mae‘s husband picks you up with his 4WD which is useful on the dirt road.
