Thai Akha Kitchen
Social Enterprise started in 2015
Local/Foreign Owned with 90% local staff
Day Trips
Activities: Class/Workshop, Cooking Class, Getting to Know Locals
Thai Akha Kitchen is run by ethnic Akha people who were born and raised in Thailand. They offer cooking classes to travelers who want to learn Thai and traditional Akha cooking. They love Thai food just as much as you!
The traditional Akha culture has been disappearing, so the Kitchen is a chance to pass down traditions and cooking styles to the world in hope that at least some parts of it will live through people who continue to use these techniques.
