We have arrived in Chaing Mai! We met up with my friend Sara who is traveling through Southeast Asia for 6 weeks. First on the itinerary is a cooking class!
I strongly recommend a cooking class when in Thailand as it is something you can use when you go home too! For this class, we started by a tour at the market to pick up the food we need. We also learned about the different ingredients!
Our instructor film showing us about all of the different types of eggplant. 
And now for all of the food photos! We cooked 6 courses and had the choice of 3 things for each. We tried to cook different things between the 3 of us so there was more to try! I think the coconut soup was one of my favorite!
We also got a cook book so we can make everything back at home in chicago! Stay tuned for a thai dinner party coming soon.
After the cooking class we checked out the Doi Suthep template at the top of the city in the mountains. It was beautiful, especially at sunset during the golden hour.
Finally, we left the temple and checked out one of the night markets. We love the thailand markets!!
I even found some gopher gear in Thailand! There was a lot of big ten appeal and we think that the store had a bunch of mistake clothes from big brands with small typos etc.
Tomorrow we visit the elephants- one of the parts of the trip I am most looking forward to!
