I'm On Koh Samui

Lamai Beach on Koh Samui

I made it to the island of Koh Samui, which is just jam packed full of tourists from Europe. Mostly from Russia and Italy, and one American, me.

Since my last post I went to the Pahd Thai Cookery School and got my certicifcate of completion. We cooked up some Pahd Thai, Green Curry soup, Spring Rolls, Chicken with Cashew Nut, Prawn in coconut milk, and Mango with sticky rice. It cost me 800Baht or $20 for a 9 hour cooking course, and we got to eat everything we made. I was stuffed by the end of it all.

Me at Pahd Thai Cookery School. I dun grad jeeyated.

The instrutors were very fun and laid back and always cracking jokes. Like when they were showing us the different types of vegetables that go into Thai cooking we came across Galangal, which is sort of like ginger but not, and she called it "Get rid of honey." Why? "Because you eat just a little bit of this and you will burt and fart so much your will get rid of your honey."

Prawn in coconut milk. I made it.
