Asia Scenic Cooking Course After our arrival from Bangkok to the much more peaceful Chiang Mai we all (me, Jh, Lee and Tooley) decided to do a Thai cooking class with Asia Scenic Cooking School after it was recommended but the lady who ran our hostel. We were picked up at our hostel at 9am, I say picked up we walked the 5 minutes to the cooking school and already I think we all knew it was going to be a good day, especially with our great teacher Mam.
