Phuket weather 24 to 27 September 2013

This morning just a short rain and the nice weather again great to enjoy boat trips and water activities, our liveaboard Sai Mai was ready to leave for a three days trip to Phi Phi islands.
Patong Beach - Phuket
Patong Beach - morning 27 Sept 2013

Different the situation in north Easter Thailand and the central plans that are under rain and underwater  for seasonal flooding. Remember that Phuket is a Island far south, about 800 km from Bangkok and it is hilly so can't be flooded for more then few hours and just on lower levels. I like to remark this two years ago when Bangkok was badly flooded people were asking  about the situation here and some even cancelled their holidays in November because of flood in Bangkok.

Thai cooking class in Kathu- a la carte home style Thai food

Phuket Cooking Class with Easy Day Thailand. Don't miss it.

During a holiday in Thailand food plays an integral part. Food here is part of the culture, when you enter someone's house the first question is always "Have you already eaten" or "Gin khao laew yang?".

People like to spend time together and eat either at home or at restaurants. Meals are often consumed seated on a floor mat, not at table. Food is shared, steamed rice is served on each one plate and everyone picks the food they like from the central bowls so all diners can enjoy different tastes. Thai people use spoon and fork to eat, no knife and chopsticks only for noodles.

Lunch or dinner normally includes three dishes which will include a combination of fish, vegetable, pork, chicken or eggs, a soup and steamed rice. Chilli is very important although not all meals are spicy.
Thai Food
Delicious Thai food

Sitting at a restaurant or during one of our tours you will enjoy authentic Thai food. From sweet and sour to curry, spicy to light soups. Thai food is a blend of many different ingredients including spices, sauces, coconut milk, chilli and....the secret ingredients that every chef or cook keeps for themselves.

Now the question is how to put all the ingredients together? When to add what? How much of each ingredient, especially chilli?

This is where we come in, with our private cooking classes that specialize in delicious real home cooked food.  Learn to cook with real Thai's in a friendly and informal environment. Let us introduce you and your friends to the secrets of Thai cooking.

Private cooking class in Phuket
Fresh ingredients

We run the classes in our own homes, making you part of our family. This way you not only learn about cooking Thai food but also about the culture surrounding it. You will get a "taste" of real life Phuket.

The cooking class can be done in the morning, then enjoy what you've cooked for lunch. Or you can do the class in the afternoon followed by dinner.

The private Phuket cooking class starts with shopping for the ingredients at the local fresh food market.  The fresh market is still central to Thai life despite the arrival in Thailand of supermarket chains and shopping with a English speaking Thai person at the market is an experience in itself, you will rarely see a Thai person happier than when they are at the market.

Your "teachers" will be with you all time and happy to answer all of your questions, they speak English.
