Look who's cookin' now? ;)
Oh you innocent tomatoes... you didn't stand a chance.
We started class with a lesson in vegetable carving.
The Mr. and I with our finished products. Tomato juice everywhere. I was really bad at this!
Shrimp balls in a vegetable broth!
Spring rolls!
Shrimp in pandanus leaves
Some more delicious dishes that we made and enjoyed for lunch!
A night market
Put your bargaining skills to the test here.
Our cab ride home: via tuk-tuk! Once was enough for me :)
We took a private tour of temples and local markets
Temples
Girls in hilltribe costumes
The gorgeous view from a mountaintop temple
Bells, beautiful bells everywhere
Fresh flowers at the local market
Dragonfruit at the local market
A shot of the main market area - very busy at lunchtime!
While the Mr. finished some work at the hotel, I took a day with a driver through some of the craft villages and boutique areas in town. One of my favorite areas was Nimmanhaemin Road, with delightful homewares and import stores. Here is a shot of the gorgeous ceramics at AKA.
Ginger: where all things girlie, sequined and beaded come to mingle. My kind of store!
Hope you enjoyed these photos from Chiang Mai. Looking at these things make me want to go back for more! Three days in the city was definitely not enough for us... I won't bore you with more vacation photos this week as I have some fashion-related goodies to share with you! It's a fashion blog, after all :)
This weekend, I'll post some photos from our idyllic days on the beach in Phuket. Hope you are enjoying the start of your week!

Cooking class in Thailand - brilliant! Thanks for the Chiang Mai tips - I totally hope to get there some day. Bangkok was lovely and I've missed it!
I'm so envious you learned how to cook such delicious-looking Thai food! And your photos are National Geographic-quality! I hope I can visit Thailand someday!
So glad you had a great trip!
The view from the temple is amazing; that cooking class is once in a lifetime- how great; Ginger- I would love to shop there :)

I feel like I'm there. Actually, I'm feeling that I should go there. I don't travel enough and all of these pictures make me want to wear out my passport.
Beautiful. Just beautiful.
Tomatoes are slippery little rascals!
The food looks incredible, and is making me hungry! The colors in some of these photos are amazing!
such beautiful travel pictures, deanne! i miss the colors and vibrancy of thailand. wish i could go back someday :)
Amazing pics. Looks like such a pretty country.
And that food looks so good ;-).
that sounds so amazing...to be completely honest, Thailand was never really on my list, but after hearing about your trip, I'm totally changing my mind!
Thailand looks so amazing. The colors, people and food are magical!!
So cool that you took a cooking class.

omg the food looks so good! so good!
wasn't it so divine? I absolutely love Chiang Mai and I'm so happy that you decided to visit. loving your photos. :) can't wait to see what you bought yourself!!
fantastic photo recap of chiangmai. i have not been there in well over 15 years probably but those pictures bring back the memories. cooking school looked fun and delicious! now i'm kinda hungry =D
Oh my god, these pictures take me back as I was in Thailand years ago, and my sister and I spent a good amount of time in Chiang Mai. I'm so glad you had a wonderful time!
great photos!
i loved the pictures! makeing roses out of tomatoes, now that's really pretty
Great pics! Thanks for sharing... the foodie ones are my favorite, although I'm not sure I'd have the patience to start carving fruit. I wish I could do more Thai cooking, but I'd have to go to the other side of town to get most of the ingredients here.
The temple shots are lovely as well, though I must confess that having to sit through hour-long funeral ceremonies of both my grandparents in temples, I am a little off them now. Glad you had such a great time! Don't let NYC take away the relaxation you gained from the trip ;-)
Wow, stunning pictures. I def. want to go to Thailand for my next trip. Thanks for sharing! You look so cute in the apron too.
xo, Becs
Hi Dream! Loved your Thailand pics! :D I've been to Phuket and Bangkok but not Chiang Mai. That's on my "to see" list!
Oh, Dee. You are quite the photographer. That was such a treat, and I'm so glad that I'm not hungry or that would have been torturous. I am very impressed that you attempted to carve a tomato. I can't think of a more difficult food to try that on! ♥
i love your photographs, so colourful, feel like i've been there with you! that little boutique looks gorgeous too!
beautiful inspiring photos!! :)

Beautiful photos. I would love to eventually visit Thailand and take some photos there too!

Welcome back Deanne! Gorgeous photos and I love that you and the Mr. took a cooking class over there! It looked like a lot of fun, although, I'd probably be bad at the vegetable carving too... for some reason my 3 dimensional perception and hand-eye coordination just doesn't work hahaha
Soooo glad to have you back!! And OMG the art with those tomatoes. I will never look at them the same way.
I love all the pics. My fave one is the one with the two little girls.
