Local Style Cooking Class.
Pick up from your hotel at 3.00 pm and head south of Chiang Mai old town to Hangdong Area. After arrival you were greeted by the host family who ran the cooking class in the Northern Thai way as in the old days. Then change your outfit with the Sa dor (Chiang Mai pants) then start to explore the local garden which the local people usually have in their property with many different kinds of plants and herbs which are used as the ingredient. Then relax for a bit and meet the elderly to see how they make the “Khee Yo Cigarette” from the banana leaves. You could also call it the local cigar which inside contains the chopped tobacco and the grinded tamarind peel. If you can smoke you could also try it yourself. Then prepare yourselves and get ready to cook in the local style. The food mainly you are going to cook will be local food and would be top secret as it is specially prepared by the host family on spot. The information that you would have to inform is what you could eat or avoid and the most important is how spicy food you could handle with. Then now you are ready to surprise! Pick up would be made from your hotel or you could also combine with some trips as well. The cooking place is hidden in the local village which could give you a very special atmosphere as most of the cooking classes are in town. Try cooking in the local style with the pottery stove and using charcoal instead of the gas, it would be a unique and unforgettable time for you. After cooking, have dinner before returning back to your hotel.
