Bite there: Chiang Mai

Starting tomorrow, my brother is taking a week-long cooking class in Thailand. Here are some excerpts from his trip reports thus far:

All is well, I am just waiting to board my flight to Chiang Mai. I am in the Royal Silk first-class lounge enjoying a roselle drink. It is sweet and fruity but that is all I know about it...I took a cab to the hotel, then went and ate a yellow curry chicken dish with a crazy ass good coconut shake for about 4 dollars on the road...In the lobby of the hotel, there was a coffee shop that served up lattes for $1.50. Starbucks, take notes.

Tonight I went to the Sunday market...they make a quiche-like pancake out of egg in this large pan, then stuff it with Pad Thai. Sort of looks like a burrito. They only cost 20 Baht (60 cents).

Watch this space for updates on his classes.
