Chiang Mai: Learning to cook




Chiang Mai is known as the culinary capital of Thailand. Attending a course at one of the many cooking schools are a popular thing to do when visiting the city. I signed up for a two-day course and have now learned how to make Thai classics like Tom Yum soup and Penang Curry from scratch. It was great fun, highly educating and totally worth the money. I definitely feel that I developed my domestic skills to another level (from useless to beginner). Participants were from all over the world. With a bit of luck, some of you might get an invitation to a Thai dinner party when I get home. We’ll see.

I had originally planned to go further north to do a multi-day trek, but decided yesterday that I miss the ocean. Hence, I will head down to the coast again for a few days on the beach before heading India. My lovely friend from England left for Bankok yesterday, so I am flying solo again. With the intense social scene I have enjoyed for the past 2 weeks, I think that it will be good with some quiet time on my own by the ocean.
