The white sandy beaches, swaying coconut trees and turquoise waters fulfil the criteria for most paradise seekers, but beyond this there is a rich culture and way of life accessible for those who are willing to add an extra dimension to a beach holiday. While there is much fresh fish and seafood, the local cuisine of the South reflects the influence of the Malay immigrants who first populated these shores bringing many of the exotic vegetables, spices, and herbs that make up the basis of Thai cuisine. Our chosen location Laem Set Inn is situated on the southern tip of the island away from the tourists. The combination of wooden Thai bungalows, air conditioned rooms and suites amongst the palm trees creates a small tropical village atmosphere. Each one has its own balcony and view of the sea. The whole place has a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere and is a perfect place to dive and snorkle on the beautiful coral reef, sunbathe and swim, or explore the local islands by boat.

| Classes will take place in the shaded cookery course kitchen which has been especially designed for us and will involve hands on cooking and presentation of Thai food, along with talks and demonstrations on various special ingredients used to make this fresh, delicious and healthy cuisine. Included in the week will be a visit to the local tropical fruit, vegetable and fish market of Nathon and lunch in a traditional Thai restaurant. We will ensure that you will return having a better understanding of the mysteries of Thai cooking and able to create wonderful and exotic dishes at home.
