Raw red curry. The ingredients that is. Thai Ginseng, two big dried chilli's (the red chilli's make it a red curry), three shallots, two cloves of garlic, lemon grass and a kaffier lime leaf. All finely chopped and placed into a mortar ready for pounding.
The paste after arm breaking pounding. I had to pound for about 10 minutes. The most physical activity for the whole day.
Green pawpaw salad. Divinely spicy and fresh. Again, everything into the mortar.
The finished three course meal with red jasmine rice. Thai red curry with chicken, chicken with cashews and green pawpaw salad. Yum. Too much food though.
After the meal, we made dessert. Oh my goodness. YUM. Mango with sweet sticky rice. I will make this at home for sure!

Goongirl - OMG Delicious. Have to wait until I get home to make it. Have to have jasmine rice for a start.
I brought back a giant bag of jasmine rice from Thailand! Mmmm so happy to have long grain rice again!
I wanted to do a cooking class but we didn't get around to it...was a bit worried that there wouldn't be a veg option anyway. Sounds like you had fun though! I'm jealous!
