Chiang Mai, Thailand: Although the plan was to spend a few days in Chiang Rai trekking to hilltribe villages in the surroundings mountains, upon arriving in Chiang Rai we found out that we were, in fact, trekked-out. So, we spent the remainder of our day in Chiang Rai relaxing and got up early the next day to catch the bus to Chiang Mai.
We celebrated our first night back in a semi-westernized city with a good old fashioned date night: burgers, ice cream, and a movie. It was one of the best nights we’ve had in a while.
The next day, we enrolled in a day-long cooking class with Baan Thai Cookery School to test out our Thai culinary skills. The class involved a trip to a local market to learn about (and shop for) ingredients and then a 6-dish course where we got to make each dish and then - of course - eat it. Needless to say, we skipped dinner that night.
