I am a 27 year old Canadian chef living and working here in Phuket, Thailand.
Two years ago I finished my cooking apprentiship in Canada and then after a short travelling vacation through europe, I made my way to London, England. For 13 months and between partying and sleeping i found time to work at three places. The Berkeley hotel, Gordon Ramseys at Claridges (nightmare) and a brand spanking new Sir Terrance Conran restaurant called the Plateau.
So how did i end up in Thailand??? To make a long story short. I met a thai girl, she had to return home. I thought, why not go and see a new culture, learn a new language and most inportantly besides seeing her would be to dive into the art of thai cuisine.
I have been here for 5 months and i am loving it. What a great expirence!!! And the food is amazing. If you all think it is lemongrass, coconut milk and chilies, well think again.
