Yesterday we got away from the exhaust smoke and constant buzz of crappy two-stroke motors by... riding a belching city bus 60km out of town, then renting a crappy little two-stroke scooter to buzz our way to...
....Don Inthanon National Park. This is several hundred square kilometres of national park surrounding the mountain that is the highest point in Thailand (approx 2500m).
The jungle was deep, the air was cool, and it was actually fairly dry, considering we were riding through a cloud forest.
Tig's lungs were back to normal, until we returned to town.
Today we did a "cooking school", where we were picked up and taken to a local market to look at the offerings, and to buy a few supplies...
then rode out of town about 20km to an organic farm where the remainder of our ingredients were grown...
We then learned how to make a variety of meals (Pad Thai, Green and Red Curries, Tom Kaw Soup, pumpkin and coconut soup, amongst others).
Then, we ate. Somewhat more than we should have. Very full right now...tummy not so good...a little beer will cool that fire.
I have to say, Tig was very fetching in her cop-gear, and I was quite the scooter operator.

Hi J&K from Thailand.
Hope you're staying warm.
Illinion politics are rather interesting these days...
