Sunday 4th November Today was a day we were both looking forward to and we took ages deciding which one we should go to but today is a day at cooking school!! After a bit of debating we chose Sammys Cooking School. It was out on a farm a few miles from the city & I'm so glad we picked there. We went first off to the market for ingredients, an education on rice, coconuts, vegetables and more!! Again there were only 2 other people so it was a lovely small cla...

We were kitted out with very fetching life jackets and i panicked a little as i wanted to make sure we had picked an easy o...

Tuesday 30th October The bus rolls into the station at 4pm, 6 hours of watching the world go by. Watching flat landscapes evolve into rolling hills and then mountains covered in lush greenery. I have been waiting to see this landscape again. My 1st visit to Chiang Mai and northern Thailand was etched in my memory through the jungle landscapes. We headed straight for Diva Guesthouse for our 5 night stay. First impressions are great of this lovely hostel and ...
