5.00This whole day was awesome! It started with a quick stop at the market, then proceeded to the Thai cooking class at Casa Del Mango - you have to go here!, the ambience of the farm is serene and relaxing. We were so impressed by our guide, Sonya and the entire cooking team - their coordination as a team was top notch. Sonya is so lovely and accommodating. We had so much food to eat and all ingredients were fresh from the market and their farm. This took half a day and then we proceeded to the elephant sanctuary. This part of the tour was so much fun - we fed, bathe, and observed the elephants. The guide was quick to share his knowledge of each elephant. Overall it was wonderful day and definitely worth the money.
Best food in Thailand
