Baan Thai Cookery School Chiang Mai

Songkran, Thai New Year, is a huge city-wide water fight that lasts for three days (April 13-15). Chiang Mai is known to be one of the most happening cities during this time. Everyone buys huge water guns, young westerners and Thais flood into the city, and a number of religious and cultural parades occur. As a huge moat surrounds Chiang Mai, many …

Rols and I slept in this morning as we knew we didn't get picked up until 9 for our cooking school. We got up at 7 and had some breakfast in hindsight we shouldn't have eaten a thing! We had fruit, fried rice, egg, granola, tea, noodles, bagel, cream cheese and smoked salmon. We headed upstairs and attempted to pack our bags for checkout today but …

I absolutely loved my time in Chiang Mai. There is lots to see and do here, like cooking classes and a day with the elephants, which took my fancy and were fantastic days out. Please feel free to enjoy my photos and video with the magnificent elephants …

After sleeping off our bottle of wine and waking to empty stomachs we were ready for our cooking class at Baan Thai Cooking School. Bryce unpacks a bit and found his flip flops covered in mold. We are not sure if this is from going through extreme heat back to extreme cold on the planes or what but he chucked them out regardless. We were picked up …

The 13 hour sleeper train passed comfortably enough in my 2nd class top bunk, compared to our 3rd class bench experience back in December it was like a night at the Ritz!

After I had gobbled down a Thai Omelet for breakfast I ventured into the square, moated old city of Chiang Mai to seek out my pre-booked room. After wandering a few …

Chiang Mai is more what we didn't do than what we did do!!!! So to summarize we went on an overnight train, trekking, elephant riding, white water rafting, attended a cookery school, visited local markets, local wats (temples) and many a street vendor (which resulted in the first case of Bangkok belly x 2).

So the slow train was an event …

Another week, and another overnight train. This time the sleeper was in a cabin room, so should have actually been a bit more comfortable. Unfortunately, with the noise, enhanced by the snoring of the guy in the bunk below, it was the opposite. Arrived at the station early morning, and settled into our guesthouse, which was adequate. The people …

Hi all,

We arrived in Chiang Mai for a week long pit stop in order to complete our visa's for China. Chiang Mai is not the greatest place to be stuck for a week, we'd rather been on a beach, but actually our hostel was the ideal place to do nothing and Chiang Mai had (just) enough on offer to take up a few days. It was part run by an …
