We will pick you up at your hotel after an early breakfast. (Don't eat too much!) Each day of classes is different, with at least six dishes to be prepared before you return home late afternoon. Along with the preparation of food, each day will focus on a different aspect of Thai cuisine: introduction to Thai ingredients and alternatives you can substitute back home, how to make savory curry pastes used in a multitude of dishes, touring Chiang Mai's fabulous fresh market, learning to carve vegetables and fruits into sensational attention-getting artworks. If you have a friend or spouse joining you who would like to do something else while you are in class, we provide an alternate activity option each day. Today's alternate activity: join our guide to explore Chiang Mai's walled and moated inner city, home to dozens of peaceful temple compounds, historic monuments, quiet shady lanes, plus local shops and bustling markets.
Cooking class resumes this morning. Today's alternate activity: depart at around eight for an enchanting elephant safari through lush wilderness, visit a Hilltribe village for an unforgettable oxcart ride, after lunch, board bamboo rafts for a relaxing afternoon cruise on the Mae Taeng River.
