Mike,

Any availability in November 2009?  I am looking at going to Thailand for 2 weeks after Afghan and spending a week near the sea and a week up country.

Also and maybe a long shot but do you know anyone nearby who does Thai cooking classes. SWMBO keeps asking me to find someone on the net..... jesh!  ;D ;D ;D

I think that type of cooking is what suits the wife, but no sure if thats what shes looking for.

(the other 3 weeks will be spent sailing and fishing around the Baltic in my dinghy  :y)
