One of my favourite activities in Thailand (apart from massages of course) was the full-day Thai Cooking Course we took at the Asia Scenic Thai Cooking School in Chiang Mai: http://www.asiascenic.com/. This school is nestled away from the hustle and bustle of Chiang Mai, or in our case it was a safe haven from Songkran water soakings!
We shopped for ingredients at a little Thai Market set up specifically for cooking classes and then learnt about fresh Thai Herbs in the school's private garden. Our teacher was the cutest little Thai lady who's English was excellent and she had a wonderful sense of humour! She ended all sentences with a questioning "Yaaah?" to make sure she was still engaging everyone in the 40 degree heat.
