"The gift Bangkok offers me is the assurance I will never be bored."

It is said that the Thai are great eaters. A recent survey placed Thailand fourth after France, Italy, and Hong Kong in the perceived excellence of its cuisine.
With that in mind, on arrival in Bangkok we take a boat upriver (approx 45 min) to the internationally famous cooking school at The Thai House. This elegant, golden teakwood hotel is traditionally designed and is surrounded by a grove of fruit trees and fragrant herb gardens. The unmistakable wing-shaped rooftops of the structure are inspired from temple buildings. It was thought that these wings are a means for those who stay here to reach heaven.
After freshening up, we head to the open-air kitchen for the cooking lessons. We will learn about blending spices, practice new skills while using traditional utensils and benefit from authentic Thai recipes. We also visit an outdoor market with our instructor and learn to be even more discerning while shopping for ingredients. Along with brief lectures and hands-on demonstrations, we enjoy eating and then discussing the dishes we have prepared.
And, when we aren't cooking and eating, we can lounge around in our sarongs handed to us on our arrival, or bicycle the surrounding area or float the canals.
After class on the second day, we return to Bangkok, the "City of Angels", and spend two nights at the Oriental Hotel, one of the world's most luxurious stomping grounds. Our day will be spent exploring the city, looking at famous Buddha's (Jade, reclining, golden and otherwise) going through some markets (flowers, Thai silk) and probably a gem or two. There will even be time in the afternoon to indulge in an indescribable Thai massage. That evening. Thai boxing, anyone?
