Entertaining

In Thailand there are many, many occasions when family and friends get together.  Food and conversations or sessions is the delight of Thai society.  In Thailand, just getting together and eating is an important event, even without a special occasion.  Equally important is the act of presenting food as well as cooking for others, it is an offering to people who have come.   It is the getting together for eating that bind many extended families together in Thailand.

Eating in the traditional Thai-style teakwood mansion is a treat.  Set in a large garden of fruit trees, orchids and fragrant herbs, it is dining nirvana. The mansion is raised off the ground and all rooms, including the kitchen, are designed for open-air use.  This is the ultimate in Thai experience.

In Thailand the dishes in a menu are served all at once, this allows dinners to enjoy complementary combinations of different tastes that Thai food is so popular for.
