The exquisite Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai has extensive landscaped gardens with teak and banyan trees and towering bamboo. Most rooms open onto a working rice farm with water buffalo. A free shuttle takes guests into Chiang Mai five times each day.
At the resort’s Cooking School, class begins with a prayer at the spirit house. After watching chef-instructor Pitak Srichan prepare a dish--we made three recipes in my class: Gaeng Kiew Warn Kai (Green Curry with Chicken in Coconut Milk), Som Tam (Green Papaya Salad), and Thom Yum Goong (Spicy Prawn Soup with Lemongrass)--we students went to our prep stations in an open-air pavilion to cook each to our own taste. At the end, we sat down in an open-air dining pavilion to sample the results. A visit to the extraordinary open-air restroom there is a must.
