I did NOT see that as a shovel head at first.

@Denman-John to echo the others many thanks for posting the pictures.

@endo “Just huts at the beach without electricity, relaxed people and bars/restaurants, no cars.”
Fuckin’eh! That sounds so nice. I’ve never been to those islands so I’m looking forward to hearing what your impressions are. How long are the ferry rides?

@AdamC It surprised me because I didn’t think a cooking class could be so much fun! My wife is a sushi chef/foodie and did all the research/booking. The whole experience was so well put together. They picked us up at our hotel in the morning and did a market tour first, showing us the ingredients we would be using and giving us a few minutes to explore. We then drove to the outskirts of Chiang Mai (15mins) to where the Zabb E Lee Thai Cooking School is. https://zabb-elee-cooking.com/ Getting out of the van I knew I was in for something special. I’m a gardener/landscaper by trade and this place is world class in its presentation. There were 10 people per class and the 5 or 6 bamboo buildings were works of art in and of themselves. In the middle was a pond that the buildings surrounded that had bridges, stone walkways and beautiful tropical plant life between them. They also had a nice veg garden area in the back of the property. The kitchens were spacious and felt luxurious. Each person got to choose 5 different dishes to cook and we all ate together at the end. It was the best meal I ate on the whole trip. Highly recommend!
Sorry for the photo dump

@Denman-John Do not apologise. This sounds and looks absolutely stunning. I have a deep love and appreciation for Thai and SE Asian culture, food and people in general. If you have any other recommendations for me to pass on to her, I would be very appreciative. I have given her lots but my trip ~15 years ago was a little too much focussed on having a good time as opposed to soaking up as many experiences. Dont get me wrong, we did some brilliant stuff but should have done so much more considering I was there for 4 months.

Quick work trip to San Francisco. Realized just in time that there is a Self Edge close by and brought 2 pairs of 25oz to drop off and get hemmed. And of course had to get a selfie with the crew.
