Way of the ancients
Roi Thai’s approach is more historically based, as the name which means, “Way of the Ancients” suggests. Roi Thai’s focus is on preserving Thai culture through teaching authentic, traditional dishes. The master chefs at Roi Thai intend to pass on to you a cuisine “inherited from the ancient Si Satchanalai, Sukhothai Province, which was the capital of the First Kingdom of Siam in the 13th and 14th centuries .”
They believe culture and cuisine are inextricably linked. They teach product knowledge and they use only the highest quality local vegetables and seafood. Be prepared to learn ancient cooking methods as well as basic skills to produce time-honored recipes. You may also be interested in learning to creatively and artistically carve fruit and vegetables in the Thai way that turns ordinary carrots and pineapples into works of art. Learn these skills at Roi Thai, located in Khlong Nin.
Time for Lime is the most modern and altruistic in its approach.
Located in Khlong Dao and founded by Junie Kovac, a long-time resident of Koh Lanta, Junie turned her passion for food into a vehicle for her devotion to animals.
All the proceeds from Time for Lime’s many services help support Lanta Animal Welfare. Their cooking classes are offered in a modern, well organized facility. The cuisine is decidedly Thai, with creative license. They welcome vegetarian adaptation.
Also at time for lime: bungalows, if you wish to make your journey with Thai cookery an immersion experience and a festive bar and restaurant with renowned cocktails and award winning cuisine. They also offer round trip transportation (except from Old Town) and a souvenir apron.
Possibly the most important aspect of your experience at Time for Lime: the grand satisfaction of knowing you have not only learned something, but contributed to the well-being of Koh Lanta’s animals.
If you have the time and the inclination: Volunteer at Lanta Animal Welfare: walk dogs, cuddle, clean, donate needed supplies.
If you’re a vet or vet assistant there are special volunteer opportunities for you. And of course if you have the ability to commit to an animal long term, adopt.
