Learn to cook Thai food We will be happy to show you how to cook Thai food, concocting sumptuous dishes you can later recreate at home. Try your hand at Isaan specialties such as Spicy Beef Salad with Mint (Laap Neua), and Green Papaya Salad (Som Tam), or try traditional central Thai dishes such as Spicy Prawn Soup (Tom Yam Kung), Grilled King Prawns with Chili, Lime and Coriander (Kung Pao) etc. There is no charge for this! Learn to drive a Skylab - or Isaan "Tuk Tuk" Skylab is the local name for the motorized rickshaws that constitute such a feature of rural life in northeast Thailand, where they are used to carry any number of goods to market: frogs or chickens, plump mangoes or knobbly jackfruit, noodles, fresh vegetables or huge sacks of chilies. The name derives from NASA's skylab that re-entered earth's orbit in 1979. Getting to grips with a Skylab can be an unnerving experience, but the private grounds of Gecko Villa are a safe place to brave an attempt! The more sane may prefer to experience the skylab as a passenger - an authentic way to surprise the villagers as you go local on the way to the market. Join the rice planting or harvesting! Help us plant or harvest the green or golden rice fields - some local rice whisky may help you along. Perhaps you would like to try your hand behind the plough, or even try to ride a water buffalo.
