For our last stop on our two month Southeast Asia backpacking trip, we stop in Bangkok. The highlight for me of this stop was our Thai cooking class that we took. We learned how to cook authentic panang curry, papaya salad, pad thai, and caramelized bananas. I'd definitely do this again next time I'm in Bangkok.
