If you’re looking for a commercial cooking class to learn how to make Pad Thai, this is not for you. I say that this tour is so much more than a cooking class because it’s equal parts culture and cooking; understanding their family history and traditions, and working alongside them to prepare a meal. The day begins with a tour of this family's property - the traditional Lanna teak house, the expansive organic gardens - and explains their Lanna culture, traditions, and religious practices along the way.
Getting a tour of the beautiful organic gardens. We picked herbs and spices along the way for our cooking. (Jenna Fedyschyn)
Once we start preparing the food and cooking outside on wood-burning fire, it was clear that this would not be a meal to forget. Homemade curry paste, garlic, soy & fish sauce, pork, chicken, green eggplant, Thai basil, bananas in homemade coconut milk - I’m telling you, this meal was a total dream.

The final spread - everything was so incredibly delicious! (Jenna Fedyschyn)
Don’t worry, you can control the level of spice, and they can make everything vegetarian upon request.
We received an immediate response from Kassandra who reserved our cruise as soon as she got a confirmation from us. Maria and Jess also were in touch right away.

Mary was super helpful and patient. Answered every question and with candor (answers of “Everything’s equally great” aren’t helpful! 😎).

The trip planner I worked with, Jane, was excellent. She had travelled to Antarctica twice and was the voice of experience as she explained travel options to me. I've travelled internationally for many years for many years for business and pleasure including a number of adventure trips. It is a delight to work with such an experienced planner. I've used Adventure Life for three trips, Costa Rica, Galapagos and upcoming, Antarctica. I highly recommend them.
