Dining

Known for sweet, sour, salty, and particularly spicy flavours, Thai cuisine is popular across the globe. Your acclaimed private chef is a dab hand at stir-fries and curries and can tailor dishes to suit international palates.

Always a good moment to get together and plan the day, meals can be served at the wood-and-marble dining table with the teak-framed glass doors wide open to the pool, or in the covered outdoor lounge with a low-slung table.

Unless you're out sightseeing, lunch is typically an informal buffet on the poolside deck. Expect golden shrimp spring rolls in fresh rice paper drizzled with tamarind sauce or popular Thai dishes such as green curry chicken or prawn with aubergines. A milder version is the coconut milk-based Massaman Curry with potatoes and chicken or beef. The chef can also knock up green papaya salad for guests who don't fear nose-tingling sensations, or serve western dishes such as healthy salads and Mediterranean pasta.
