Best
experience
in
Thailand!!
So
much
more
than
just
a
cooking
class.
Pat
welcomed
us
into
his
home,
explained
and
involved
us
in
the
customs
of
his
people.
It
was
interesting
to
learn
about
the
layers
of
his
family's
beliefs,
beyond
simple
Buddhism.
We
experienced
these
things,
and
we're
just
told.
We
learned
about
his
family
as
we
spent
time
in
the
home
to
five
generations
of
his
family.
It's
a
wonderful
compound,
with
an
outdoor
kitchen,
herb
garden,
elevated
barns
and
a
home
for
the
remaining
four
generations.
Pat
is
a
very
likeable
person
who
has
the
heart
of
a
teacher;
he
wants
you
to
understand.
He
explains
the
benefits
of
the
herbs,
while
giving
you
some
to
taste,
and
wrapping
you
with
a
citronella
leaf
to
keep
the
mosquitoes
away.
We
made
four
fun
and
wonderful
dishes,
preparing
the
ingredients
and
cooking
in
woks
and
clay
pots
over
wood
fire
stoves.
We
tasted
as
we
added
ingredients
and
experienced
the
difference
they
would
make.
It's
remarkable
to
prepare
ingredients
you
are
not
used
to
cooking
with
and
creating
a
dish
you
may
have
had
at
a
restaurant
a
few
days
prior,
not
to
mention
having
picked
the
herbs
in
the
backyard.
Pat
also
helped
you
understand
the
tricks
to
making
it
taste
its
best,
and
what
would
ruin
it.
The
food
was
delicious
and
people
were
the
best.
Highly
recommend
and
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
