We had another chance to go to Kanchanaburi, about 2 hours south of Thailand where it is famous for its River Kwai and Tiger Temple. Catch a bus at the Southern Bus Teminal in Bangkok and a one way ticket is around 105bht per person.
Upon reaching at our guesthouse (Ploy Guesthouse - a stylish tropical retreat at 79/2 Maenam Kwai Rd, Kanchanaburi Province, Tel: (034) 515 804), we decided to go for a cooking class which is around 750bht per person and it includes a trip to the local market and learn how to cook 3 traditional Thai dishes (green curry, phanaeng & pad thai) instead of visitng the temples again.
In this class we learnt that and more! Chef Mickey was such an entertaining host that we all enjoyed ourselves enormously.
PS: I've tried cooking tom yum goong, green curry & pad thai at home and let me tell you the lessons really worked in terms of self confidence and measurements! I made a mean tom yum & green curry! Though I might have to get more practice on the pad thai coz hubby thought mine was too sweet....;)
