We took a pretty sweet cooking class in Vietnam, but it was nothing compared to our class in Thailand!
The Chiang Mai Thai Cookery School is the premier course, according to lonely planet. But, we booked a class with "Home Style," started by some former Cookery teachers. Apparently there was a big falling out and 4 of the chefs from the cookery school quit. One of them started up this school. For less money, we got a private class and we chose the 6-course menu! We cooked up pad thai, green curry, tom ka gai soup, spring rolls, vegetable stir fry and coconut-banana desert. Our only mistake was eating breakfast!
Afterwards, we went to the Sunday Walking Market. This was simply amazing. So much better than the standard Night Bazaar. If you ever go to Chiang Mai, make sure it is on a sunday. This market went on for miles and it was significantly less touristy. Lots of locals (we even saw some thai drag queens!). And, we got to buy lots more crap for me to carry.
