After crossing the border at about 9am in the morning we entered Thailand and quickly found ourselves transportation to Thailand's second city, Chiang Mai. After sorting accommodation we experienced our first Thai curry and it was GOOD. The heavy rain meant we only had time to book onto a cooking course for the next day.
We were picked up early and taken to a morning market where we were given a detailed description of all the ingredients that we were going to be using in our curries. After this they took us to the "farm" where the owners grew a lot of the other ingredients needed. First lesson was how to make a curry paste after which we made a curry using our own paste. The other dishes they taught us were chicken with cashew nuts, pad thai, a chicken coconut soup and finally a sweet, banana in coconut milk.
In the evening we met up with Ulrika and Amelie and had a couple of drinks before Alex and I departed for Bangkok where we would catch a flight to Ko Samui. Thai islands here we come!
