We absolutely loved A Lot of Thai cooking course. It was 800 baht per day and that included 6 dishes, a trip to the local market halfway through the day, transfers to/from our guesthouse and a great little cookbook! www.alotofthai.com
You can see the fun we had at our blogs!

No problems. If you do let me know so I can subscribe! I would also recommend CM Blue House for accommodation. We stayed there last time and are heading back there in February - great place and cheap!

Hi,
we´ve stayed in Chiang Mai this year in march. The guesthouse we´ve booked was Julies guesthouse. One of the nicest guesthouses i´ve ever saw in thailand. It´s so cozy and it´s very nice for chilling.
We´ve got the tipp from them to make an cookery course with the Pad Thai Cookery School. And it was a very good descion. It was an happening with our teacher Gnochi and we´ve learned a lot about the Thai kitchen.
You could choose from many thing that you can cook in the course. But every time first step is the same. They visit with you the market and show you every vegetables and so on which a typic for Thailand.
Than the buy with you the things which you will need for the course.
It was a very funny day.
Steffi

I loved Chiang Mai. We didnt explore the restaurants too much as my son was sick for 2-3 days of our stay, and we missed out on trekking ... I wasnt keen to do the trekking though as I couldnt find one that didnt do elephant riding. Having spent a day at the Elephant Nature Park there was no way I was riding an elephant... I will be doing a trek in Laos this time around to make up for it!!
The night markets are great... get there early for first customer bargains.. its bad luck for them to not sell to their first customer so they will slash the price again and again and again .... we got some amazing bargains!!
