| CHIANG MAI: cooking class, thai massage lessons & a hill tribe trek! |
It was rumored to be a smaller town
but with a bookish feel to it. A more
cultured Bangkok. Turns out most
people were right, there were more
bookstores per block than I've seen
elsewhere. The ability to learn the art
of Thai-style cooking, massage,
aromatherapy, language and go trekking
all from one town makes Chiang Mai a
good place to visit when you want to do
something productive. Thus, Celene and
I took BOTH cooking classes and two
separate massage courses! Palm Press
whole body and foot massage! Finally,
curry doesn't seem to be so much of
a mystery to me....it's SO GOOD!
