Fried chicken anyone? This image was taken on the streets of Bangkok. One of my favourite cities. Oh how I miss

The Four Seasons Resort-Koh Samui-Pt 2

by Peter G January 6, 2010 Places

In this post I wanted to highlight the food and drinks we enjoyed whilst we stayed at The Four Seasons. A sort of general “overview”. It really helps when you travel with like minded people as everyone was willing to try bits of everything! For research of course! One of my friends felt hungry before dinner

The Four Seasons Resort-Koh Samui

by Peter G January 3, 2010 Places

My first post for 2010 will be about something I did last year. I had this planned for a few months ago but after all the “technical” difficulties I experienced I thought best to wait till the new year. Back in September when I vacationed in Koh Samui, I was also very privileged to stay at

Thai Cooking Classes

by Peter G October 8, 2009 Places

Attending Thai cooking classes was probably one of the major highlights of my recent holiday. As much as I am familiar with Thai food, there is nothing like getting to the grass roots of it all and gaining a better understanding of how this cuisine works. The wonderful people at the Sareeraya resort hold cooking classes in the hotel’s main dining and kitchen area.

Seafood Barbecue On The Beach

by Peter G September 28, 2009 Places

After a “hard” day’s swimming around the islands located in the Gulf of Thailand there was really no better way to end it than with a private seafood barbecue right on the beach! Ok…let me clarify. It wasn’t a traditional “bonfire” type of barbecue. It was a beautiful table set up for dinner on the sand for the six of us. The folks at the Sareeraya really know how to [...]

One of the activities we set out to do whilst in Koh Samui was to hire a boat and explore the local islands. We were all keen to leave the comfort of our resort chairs and go snorkeling, swimming and seek a bit of adventure on the high seas! After much research we decided to hire the services of an operator, a few metres up from where we were staying. [...]

Koh Samui

by Peter G September 18, 2009 Places

I’m back from paradise folks! I’m recharged, relaxed and ready for the rat race again! Admittedly, I was only away for about 9 days but it felt longer than that. Koh Samui was a wonderful experience and I’m keen to go back again sometime in the near future. I’ve been to Thailand many times but I had never ventured onto any of the islands before. I’ve been a traveler most [...]

One Night in Bangkok

by Peter G April 30, 2007 Places

Who doesn’t love Thai food? No other cuisine, in my opinion, marries all the opposite ends of the food spectrum and makes it taste so good!!! There’s the sweet and we’re talking dark rich palm sugar. The sour. Think of juicy limes. The salty. Pungent Thai Fish sauce. And the spicy. Big long green and red chillies. I have been visiting Bangkok (with work) on and off for about 12 [...]
