Cook with Uncle Noi in Chiang Mai’s Old Town
Uncle Noi and Nintara created Baan Nintra in 2015 with a simple mission: to share authentic Southeast Asian cuisine made with love, quality ingredients, and careful preparation.
What began as a Vietnamese restaurant known for its homemade Nem Nuong grilled pork skewers has grown into a beloved café and restaurant where guests enjoy Thai food, Vietnamese specialties, fresh coffee, and homemade desserts.
Today, Uncle Noi invites visitors into the kitchen to experience the joy of cooking through hands-on cooking classes in Chiang Mai.
Every class is designed to feel like cooking with family.
