Departure to Thailand: Sawadee Ka Bangkok!

Hi Bangkok! Finally I sat in the plane, ready for 11 hours of flight!  I like long flight.

Direction Suvarnabhumi, Bangkok Airport, the starting point to go to the discovery of a different and less touristy side of Thailand, with the nature reserves and ecotourism.

If during my last visit to Bangkok, I was very urban, focused on shopping and massages, this trip is more about nature! Wow Mademoiselle Le K globetrotter… Well, I managed to lighten my suitcase. No high heels! Yes, lol!

I am invited with a few journalists by the Tourism Authority of Thailand. And I am very excited about the route that will take us from Bangkok to Phuket, along the Gulf of Thailand. The opposite side of the famous Andaman Sea’s islands and beautiful beaches. We will cross the provinces of Samut Songkhram, Chumphon and Surat Thani.

And if like me, only these names make you dream: follow me in the coming days on this blog and Twitter. You can also find my photos in the Facebook of the Tourism Authority of Thailand and the Facebook of the Royal Thai Embassy in Belgium.

Départ pour la Thailande: Sawadee Ka Bangkok!

Départ pour la Thailande: Sawadee Ka Bangkok!

Bonjour Bangkok! Enfin assise dans l’avion, prête pour 11h de vol, j’aime les longs courriers!

Direction Suvarnabhumi, l’aéroport de Bangkok, point de départ pour aller à la découverte d’un versant différent et moins touristique de la Thaïlande : celui des réserves naturelles et de l’écotourisme.

Si lors de ma dernière visite à Bangkok, j’étais restée très urbaine, shopping et massages, ce voyage s’annonce plus nature! Mlle Le K est “tous terrains”… Enfin presque, j’ai quand même réussi à alléger ma valise de toute paire de hauts talons! Si si vraiment, Lol!

Invitée avec quelques journalistes par l’Office du tourisme thaïlandais, j’avoue être très excitée par le parcours qui nous mènera de Bangkok à Phuket, en longeant le Golf de Thaïlande. A l’opposé de la célèbre mer d’Andaman, ses îles et plages paradisiaques. Nous traverserons les provinces de Samut Songkhram, Chumphon et Surat Thani.

Et si comme moi, rien que ces noms vous font rêver : suivez moi dans les jours à venir sur ce blog et Twitter. Vous pourrez aussi découvrir mes photos sur le Facebook de l’office du tourisme thaïlandais et le Facebook de l’ambassade de Thaïlande en Belgique.

Brussels: Discover The Northern Thailand Cuisine @ Les Larmes du Tigre

Posted on November 23, 2012 | Leave a comment

Recently I was invited to a press lunch at the Brussels famous restaurant, Les Larmes du Tigre, in the presence of His Excellency the Ambassador of Thailand. As usual: after I got lost (yep, I went to another restaurant, could you believe this!), I managed to arrive on time! After the  warm welcome of Mark Beukers, the owner and his team : ouch, I perceive that I forgot my camera (!). Fortunately, a journalist friend lent me her phone (thank you R!) and I could make these few snapshots. I’m nicely surprised by the result! I’ve been a few times in Thailand, never in the North: from November 15 to January 26, Les Larmes du Tigre, the Office of Tourism Authority of Thailand and Thai Airways have joined forces to highlight the cuisine of Northern Thailand. I discover this delicious cooking, combining pleasure of the eyes and the palate and so nicely presented and tasty. Honestly I’m light years of this boring endless trend of non stop fooding everywhere! Here are some pictures of one of the dishes on this six services menu. Photo 2: Kaeng Kung Hooe, prawns with curry from the north and mixed vegetables. Photo 3: assorted raw vegetables with an excellent eggplant caviar. Photo 4: Ab Pla, bass fillet grilled in a banana leaf with Thai herbs. Congratulations to Chef Apple! And while you enjoy your meal, you can admire portraits of the Thai photographer, Cholavit.
