The experience begins with a welcome in the Min & May kitchen, where you'll enjoy a drink before the session begins.
Together, you'll walk through the garden to gather some of the ingredients that will be used in the cooking. Then you'll take part in a step-by-step guided cooking class, learning traditional Myanmar recipes that have been passed down in their families for years.
Between the preparation and the conversation, the dishes come together until they reach the table, where the final meal is shared in a warm and peaceful atmosphere surrounded by the area’s natural beauty.

Min and May grew up near Inle Lake in Myanmar’s Shan State, a place where life revolves around the water, morning markets, and floating gardens. There, they learned to cook alongside their mothers and grandmothers, preparing the dishes that are part of everyday life, celebrations, and family gatherings.
A few years ago, they arrived in Chiang Mai and built a new home here. Although they now cook far from the lake, many of the recipes, ingredients, and cooking methods remain the same. At Bamboo Nest @ Sanggadee, they open the doors to their kitchen to share those flavors and the stories behind them, creating a space where food becomes a way to get to know Myanmar through the people who cook it.
Perhaps that's why the experience feels so intimate. More than just learning a recipe, it's an invitation to sit around the table and share a piece of the history and memories that Min and May brought with them from Inle Lake.
Located in the San Kamphaeng district, this experience takes place at Bamboo Nest in Sanggadee, a space surrounded by nature on the outskirts of Chiang Mai.
The setting combines vegetable and fruit gardens, a small pond with fish, and open areas that invite people to spend time together and work at a leisurely pace. It is a place designed for everyday life in harmony with the environment, where the rhythms of the day are set by the surrounding nature.
This is where the experience with Min & May takes place, using fresh ingredients from the garden and the surrounding area to prepare traditional Burmese dishes. The space becomes an open kitchen where the scenery, the food, and the conversation are all part of the same process.
No. The experience is designed for people of all skill levels, including those who have never taken a cooking class. Min and May will guide you step by step throughout the process, explaining the techniques, ingredients, and preparation methods in a simple and approachable way.
You'll learn how to prepare traditional Myanmar recipes inspired by the cuisine of the Inle Lake region. The dishes may vary depending on the season and the availability of fresh ingredients, but they always reflect the culinary traditions that Min and May inherited from their families.
