It’s great to be back on the backpacking mission as I get to do all the things I wanted to do but didn’t get around to doing when settled down in KohTao. One of those things was a Thai cooking course.

We went to ‘The best Thai cookery school’, how could you not go there with a name like that. It started off with a trip to the market where our energetic smiling teacher Perm talked us through the finer points of choosing ingredients.

Then it was back to the classroom where we cooked up curries, stir fries, spring rolls etc. Then we sat down to the feast we had created.

Our teacher Perm made the day, he was one of those cute bubbly people that if you could, you would shrink him, take him home put him in a jar and place it on your coffee table for hours of entertainment. Also note that in the photo below I’m missing side burns as they were burnt off in the above flaming photo.
