Sure, would love to meet you when you come back to Chiang Mai! Three cooking courses - you must be a real Thai chef now. You are Michael Porter, my facebook friend, right?

The Saturday and Sunday street markets besides the shopping and people watching, food every where. Small restaurants open into the early morning. A Thai lady that did my laundry invited me to have a meal of papaya salad with her and the family. I was moved! I ate something Thai everyday most days each meal. Another Westerner I met staying at the same guesthouse went to Starbucks everyday and did not eat much Thai food, when he did he complained about it. I thought just what you mentioned, why did he come to Thailand? Now that I am back in the USA I really miss just popping in somewhere for some Thai food. I've been to some Thai restaurants here (but not the same) and I have cooked a few meals. I agree with you about the food and my level of Thai spicy increased considerably.

First visit but certainly not the last! While I was visiting I did take 3 cooking courses and had lots of fun. Each had their own characteristics but my favorite was Asia Scenic. Shama, I am enjoying reading your material. Saw your name on Rick Gold FB friends. Perhaps I can meet you later this year when I revisit Chiang Mai.
