Fresh Markets and Fresh Accommodation in Phuket |
 |
| One of the most striking, unusual things that many Westerners find about Phuket is the prevalence of fresh food ? and the amazing depth of flavour, vibrancy and zest that it has! The freshness of Thai food may even beat the exotic combinations of spices, the generous portions or the awesome prices as its best features. If you plan to do some serious cuisine-hunting in your time in Thailand, and would like to practice your skills while the inspiration is fresh (no pun intended!), we look at the perfect Phuket villas for rent and vacation villas in Phuket for you, as well as the best fresh markets for your supplies. |

If you plan to indulge in a Thai cooking class during your time in Thailand, or even just to experiment on your own, you'll need a Phuket luxury villa for rent with a fully equipped kitchen. Genius cannot happen in a poky little coffee-making area! Lakewood Hills, a Phuket holiday villa for rent, is a great choice. If you are dragging some willing victims along to try out your newfound cooking skills on, there are 7 beds for them to stay in. The kitchen is fully equipped, and there is an additional gas BBQ facility at this Phuket villa rental if you like to experiment in the open air. There is even a tennis court, gym, and large lap pool on site for you to work off your culinary excesses!
Baan Emikami is another Phuket villa for rent with a fully equipped kitchen, where you can experiment with fresh market delights like the roots, seeds and flowers of familiar plants, as well as beautifully rounded fresh Thai herbs and seasonsings. The kitchen at this Phuket luxury villa for rent is western-style, so if you have enough on your 'plate' just figuring out whether you can put lemongrass and galangal together, you will at least know what to chop them on and grind them with! There is a swimming pool and gym available for guests, and the Phuket villa rental has views of Kata Noi's lush tropical landscapes, silken sand beaches and turquoise bays. Get some Thai cuisine inspiration from the cafe onsite if you are looking for a starting point.
Maan Tawan Waterside villa is perhaps the most luxurious of Phuket's luxury villas for rent with fully equipped kitchens. It sleeps 6, with expansive living spaces and areas for both outdoor and indoor relaxation. The design style at this Phuket vacation villa is modern Thai, so it will go perfectly with your dinner time creations! Many Thai holiday villas have a sala, but this one is on the roof ? perfect scenery in which to enjoy your deliciously spiced cocktail creations of an evening. There is a private pool, private gym, overnight security and daily maid service, among other highlights!
You should find seafood to use as a base for your culinary adventures, back at the Phuket luxury villa rental, at most Talaad Sods (fresh markets that are open all week). Chickens, vegetables and curry pastes are also available here, but your best bet for fresh ingredients and amazing Thai food is to go to a 'talad nat'. These are weekend markets where farmers sell produce that they have grown personally. This is not only amazingly fresh (no middle men!), but also supports healthy economies and communities.
