Cultural Tour and Cooking Class in Mae Kham Pong, Chiang Mai

This full-day tour from Chiang Mai takes you to Mae Kham Pong village, situated 1,300 meters above sea level with cooler temperatures and scenic views. After stopping at a local market to select ingredients, you’ll explore the community forest where villagers cultivate tea and coffee in line with sustainable practices inspired by the Late King’s self-sufficient economy philosophy. A picnic lunch at a nearby waterfall provides a relaxing break before you return to the village for a traditional Thai massage and a walk through the local fermented tea leaf production and artisan crafts. The experience concludes with an authentic cooking class in a local home, where you prepare your own dinner before returning to Chiang Mai in the evening. This tour suits travelers interested in rural culture, nature, and hands-on culinary experiences outside the typical tourist routes.
