Bangkok: Baipai Cooking Class

We always like to do a food related activity when we visit different places whether it be food tours or cooking classes.  We had signed up to do both of these things in Bangkok but the food tour fell through when one of the restaurants was closed the day we wanted to go.  Fortunately, we still had the cooking class.

The cooking class began with a market tour where we learned about several of the ingredients that  are commonly used in Thai cooking.
Lots of produce in the farmer's market
Our wonderful tour guide, Darin, teaching us
about the produce
Lots of fresh fruit! 
Pig parts! From left to right: ears, tongue, intestines. Yum.
Pots of curry 
When we finished at the farmers market we headed over to the cooking school.  We went through so many narrow backroads and were a little concerned where they were taking us until we pulled into the gates of the school into the little oasis they had created.

The cooking class was fantastic!  The food was delicious and the best part is we didn't have to clean up!
