Organic farm at the Thai Farm Cooking School, Chiang Mai, Thailand
Since we last caught up with the James family on their round-the-world trip, they have been very busy! From Australia, Dani, Craig, and their two children traveled to Thailand where they have been learning about the history of Buddhism, taking in the Grand Palace in Bangkok, enjoying an amazing variety of delicious street food, and dealing with a hilarious lost-in-translation moment involving a hotel housekeeper and a packet of mystery medicine that you *must* read. Just outside Chiang Mai, the whole family went to the Thai Farm Cooking School – let’s take a little peek…
The day begins with a tour of the local market (pictured above) and then a walk around the grounds of the school, which is also home to an organic farm.
After choosing a menu, each person gets their own cooking station in a big, airy room – here’s Conor working on his curry dish. And then the best part: sitting down to the feast at a gorgeous outdoor table overlooking the gardens.
I just love the idea of seeking out a cooking school when you are traveling – it seems like a fantastic way to get acquainted with a new culture. Children are almost always welcome, it’s a creative, satisfying experience for the whole family and you come away with new skills and a full belly
