I took a cooking class yesterday! My first real 'touristy' thing aside from the free markets and temples. It was great! (Aside from me getting sick that is. Perfect timing, I've had nothing really important planned all week and of course the two days that I book trips, I get a terrible cold) |
| Various types of jasmine and sticky rice |
We started out with a trip to a local market where we learned about the different ingredients then drove out to their organic farm about 45 minutes outside of the city. The market had everything from frogs and pig heads to fresh coconut milk, palm sugar and some prepared foods.

| A delicious looking buffet in the market |

| A follow up from the cow head in Morocco? |
 |
 |
| Making curry paste by hand is hard work! |
 |
| Coconut soup, I haven't gotten it here at all and only a few times at home but it is SO good! |
 |
| Pad Thai |
 |
| Mango and sticky rice, my new favorite dessert |
Everything looks so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAre farms mostly organic in Thailand or do you know if they use a lot of chemicals.
Most of them use chemicals. They also don't have an 'organic' designation like we do, so in the stores products can be called organic even if they aren't by our standards. But there are a few farms, including one at a local temple, that don't use chemicals.
