Excursion Thai cooking class at nora resort tour at Ko Samui

Cruise line: Silversea
Difficulty:

Thai cuisine is a wonderful blend of flavours with dishes that can be quite spicy. Enjoy this unique opportunity to explore Thai gastronomy with the Chef of the Nora Beach Resort and Spa, followed by an introduction to the art of Thai cuisine on this exclusive, private cooking lesson.

Nora Beach Resort & Spa

After tendering ashore, meet your guide at the pier and begin your day's outing with the drive to the Nora Beach Resort and Spa. The resort enjoys a spectacular hillside setting, overlooking a secluded bay just north of the world-famous Chaweng Beach. The Nora is secluded and private, a little village within lush gardens.

Cooking Class and Lunch

Guests are welcomed at the resort with a traditional Thai herbal beverage, that you next learn how to concoct. Watch the Chef prepare the food and explain the traditional methods used in Thai cooking. Properly attired with an apron and chef's hat, you are encouraged to lend a hand.

Following your cooking class, relax and enjoy the cuisine from your lesson. A delicious chicken soup with fresh coconut milk precedes the main course of deep fried stuffed crabmeat in the original shell. Of course, no Thai menu would be complete without the Thai-style noodles to complement the main course. Coconuts are common around the island and make a refreshing ice-cream as dessert. Wine, local beer or soft drinks are provided with your meal.

Afterwards, some free time is made available for you to relax and enjoy the pool or beach on the resort before re-boarding your van for the 40-minute drive back to the port.
