Klong Dao Beach
Koh Lanta, Thailand January 19, 2005 -- Time for Lime, a boutique resort and cooking school for tourists located on beautiful, white-sand Klong Dao Beach on Thailand’s Koh Lanta Island is recovering rapidly from the powerful tsunami which hit southern Asia on December 26. Koh Lanta, situated off southern Thailand, was spared the devastating destruction and loss of lives experienced by its neighboring islands, Phuket and Ko Phe Phe. Since the tsunami, the days have been filled with blue skies and sunshine, hard work and optimism for Time for Lime owner, Junie Kovacs, her staff and local volunteers. While the tsunami’s waves claimed much of the contents in the resort’s buildings, leaving sand and mud behind, Kovacs says Time for Lime will be back in operation by February 1. At Time for Lime, tourists enjoy the unique hands-on experience of learning from a local Thai chef and Kovacs how to prepare Thai and fusion food. The setting is an open-air kitchen and dining area on the beach and backed by a rain forest. The school, open November through June, offers day and evening classes, as well as one- to six-day courses. Individuals and groups are welcome. ......
