Chiangmai

Wednesday 13th September 2017

I awoke (well I say awoke I didn't really sleep all that much) to the lifts being switched on at 5:20am and then some rando song being played later so no more sleep for me! We got to Chiangmai at around 7am and headed straight to the hotel for breakfast, and what a spread it was! They even had heaps of waffles which made me so happy. After finishing, a few of us went to do the flight of the gibbons, a zip lining course. It was pretty cool, and we even saw a few Gibbons in the trees, although they were quite far away. We had an included lunch there (always a winner) before heading back to the hotel, checking in and having a quick shower etc before going to the Thai cooking class. We went to the market first and were told about all the different ingredients and what we will be using them for. We then went to the farm where the school is, about a half an hour drive from the city. It was so beautiful there! We made Tom Yum soup, Pad Thai, Padang curry and cashew chicken stir fry and I'm very proud to say that mine tasted amazing! I even did the fire bit when making the stir fry! Everyone decided to then go to a lady boy show, and look around the night markets. I genuinely planned to only go for one drink and then do a bit of shopping, but that one drink led to me having a full blown night out oops!
