Ao Nang Garden bungalow is set in a beautiful tropical garden as you might expect from the name. Accomodation are bungalows, no surprise again :) fan or a/c cooled.

We have put them on the friends list as we had a very pleasant stay with them (jan, 2010) and we like the thai style businesses with a touch of western organization to keep everything clean and in working order.
At their restaurant you will find thai/western dishes and some dutch specialties like Dark bread, "Bitterballen" and "Kroket". If you decide to visit the Krabi area this place is definately good for you.

Have a good time !

Why they are the best cookery school:

• They were the first school to be established in Chiang Mai in 1993 and they have had more experience of teaching Thai cooking than anybody else.
• They only teach Thai cooking so that all our time is devoted to continually up-grading and improving our courses and facilities.
• Their cook book that accompanies the courses is of the highest quality. Every recipe is accompanied by a full colour photograph and each recipe has been written by Sompon and Elizabeth. Their cook book is published in Bangkok.
• Sompon has an English wife and has spent time in England so that his English is of a very high standard. These days he spends more time speaking English than Thai!
• The facilities that they have are second to none. Everybody has their own gas ring and work surface so that under no circumstances will you ever have to share and waste time waiting around for your turn to cook.
• Having spent time cooking Thai food in England, Sompon has first-hand experience of cooking Thai food abroad. He knows what ingredients are available and what can be used as substitutes. He makes annual trips abroad which enables him to continually be able to up-date his information. Over the years of teaching he has also obtained knowledge of what is available in many, many cities and countries around the world.
• They are the only cooking school in Chiang Mai to be recommended in all major guide books such as Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, Let's Go, Frommers, Stefan Loose and many others. You cannot buy your way into these guide books. Entries are made on recommendations from past students and that is the only way to get in.

The cookery school will pick you up at the house in the morning and bring you back in the afternoon.

Our team visited Baan Bua guesthouse for the 2nd time already on Thursday september the 5th 2002. The house is quite new and everything is shiny. The place is run by Brian & Tim who have good info for you in case you need some. They are very nice people. So if you're looking for a place to stay in Chiang Rai, this is an excellent one! Now it's Nov. 2005 and we have been here quite a few times. They have fan or aircon rooms with hot shower. Nice garden and good central, quiet location.

Magic Resort located in Lamai Beach - Koh Samui.
Operated by Ooh and Goy the friendliest Thai couple. Before they runned a bungalow park called Wanchai Villa. But they stopped that at the end of march 1999 because the owner of the land increased the rent too much.
Now instead of that they have the Magic Resort. It's on a wonderful spot on the Lamai Beach strip. Our team checked these people 6 times the last 3 years. They're wonderful! History is repeating itself sept. 2004 Goy told me that she will start a new bungalow park at Koh pa ngan and Ooh will be taking care of Magic Resort , because the lease of Magic resort is almost finished.
Lucky for all of us it's Xmas 2007 the lease has been renewed for another 10 years. Half of the old bungalows are replaced by fancy deluxe new bungalows. Ooh and Goy are still there! Go and have fun ! Last visited Dec. 2007. Ok here is the address:
