Here are the guidelines for visitor passes<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>The Role:<\/strong> Observation only. Visitors cannot participate in the food prep or cooking due to safety and space limits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Rule:<\/strong> To keep our class sizes comfortable, the total number of visitors in your group must be less than the number of active cooking participants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Perks:<\/strong> Visitors don&#8217;t leave hungry! The ticket includes a full serving of classic Pad Thai, Mango Sticky Rice, and refreshing Thai Milk Tea.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: Can I bring my children to the cooking class?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: We love hosting families, but safety is our top priority around hot woks and sharp kitchen knives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Ages 10+ (or taller than 120 cm):<\/strong> Welcome in the active kitchen zone! They can prep and cook right alongside a parent with a standard participant ticket.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Under 10 years old:<\/strong> For safety reasons, younger children are not permitted in the cooking areas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u26a0\ufe0f<strong> Chef&#8217;s Tip for Parents:<\/strong> If you are traveling with toddlers or younger kids, we highly recommend booking a Visitor Ticket for an adult supervisor to stay with them in our dining hall and organic herb gardens while you cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: What dishes are included on the Menu?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: You will get to cook (and eat) a massive, authentic Thai meal. Every participant chooses 3 Main Dishes from our curated seasonal menu:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>One Soup:<\/strong> (such as world-famous Tom Yum)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>One Stir-Fry:<\/strong> (such as spicy Pad Kra Prow)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>One Curry:<\/strong> (made using a traditional Thai curry paste you grind from scratch!)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To complete your feast, everyone enjoys a fresh glass of Thai Milk Tea and our iconic Mango Sticky Rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Q: How do Chiang Mai hotel transfers work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A: We make getting to our organic farm completely stress-free.
