What You’ll Experience

We’re excited to share our culture and tradition with everyone visiting or living in Phuket. It’s a true honor to represent Thailand and help others discover the beauty of our way of life. To do this, we bring together two powerful parts of Thai identity: our culture and our tradition. Begin your day by feeding the elephants at a peaceful sanctuary. Connect with these gentle giants in a respectful and unforgettable experience for 10-15 minutes. After meeting the elephants, head to the cooking class. Learn to cook iconic Thai dishes like Tom Yum Kung, Green Curry, and Pad Thai with a friendly local chef. Enjoy your own cooking station and get to know more about Thai herbs and their benefits, the history of Thai food, and the variety of food from each region in Thailand. After cooking, enjoy your delicious meal and beautiful view all around. When you visit us, you won’t just see Thailand — you’ll feel it. You’ll start to understand who we are as people. And if you really want to get to know Thai culture, start with our food. Thai food is more than just something to eat — it’s part of our soul. From the flavors and decorations, to the mix of ingredients and the use of local herbs
