Thailand Adventure continued

One of the things I definitely wanted to do while in Thailand was to go to a Thai cookery school, so on one of the days we booked to go to "Smart Cook".

 

First off we were taken to a local produce market. 

Then we went to the cookery school where it turned out we were the only students so got one on one personal tuition which was awesome. We learnt how to make Thai green curry from scratch

 

My fav dish in Thailand, pad Thai

Coconut chicken soup

Spring rolls, I personally was rubbish at these but Gary was really good.

 

...and of course my 2nd favourite thing to eat, mango sticky rice

All in all a delicious and wonderful day.  

Thailand Adventure

I recently travelled to Thailand on an adventure to see where the road took me. I booked flights...and that was it. I flew from London Gatwick into Bangkok and spent a day there.

After Bangkok we got a train up to Ayutthaya for 2 days. Ayutthaya was the original ancient capital of Thailand until the Burmese invaded and drove the Thai people south until they regained control years later. 

After Ayutthaya we travelled back down to Bangkok and got a sleeper train for 16  hours to Krabi in the south of Thailand. After the train, several coaches , in the back of a pick-up truck and a taxi we finally reached our final destination of Ao Nang.

  

Yes that's a monkey on the beach!

Tower of Light

A couple of weeks ago I decided that no matter what the weather was like I was going out to do some photography of The Island on my day off from work. My day off came and luckily there was pockets of blue sky poking through the clouds. Headed to Niton to try and find St Catherine's lighthouse and managed to get some really good shots, and also found somewhere to enjoy a quite spot of lunch.
