thai culture
learn about the country you're visiting

With a little bit of effort you can immerse yourself in the local culture. Much of the island remains coconut plantations. A walk around and you will often see nuts being collected by monkeys or the husks been burnt to produce charcoal. Locals handcraft unique jewellery and bags from the coconut shell, for sale in some of the roadside stores.

Local fishermen are happy to take travelers out fishing. Andy at Tatoo Bar is good to get in touch with for the fishing trip and a few beers. Maybe you can keep your catch and enroll in a Thai cooking class, learning a couple of basic Thai dishes like a coconut curry and a papaya salad. Just e-mail with any questions.
