The villa rentals market in Thailand continues to be growing steadily for quite some time. The gorgeous, tropical country is now recognised as one of the prime villa rental and holiday rental locations in SE Asia in terms of luxury and cost for money. Regardless of what type of property you are looking for; beach front villas, hill-side, sea view properties and mountaintop retreats - Thailand has it all and much more. This article explores and explains a relatively new development and ever more popular choice with Villa Renters: Villa Chef services.
Trained and experienced Chefs could be hired, directly inside your villa, by the meal or even the day. Villa chefs can prepare a number of mouth-watering, tropical dishes together with a full repertoire of famous Thai platters and freshly caught seafood. Kun Lek, a skilled Thai Chef and villa chef based in Koh Samui, Thailand for 3 years explains what customers need. "Most from the villa guests I cook for are curious about the more famous, classic Thai foods such as spring rolls, Pad Thai (fried noodles with bean sprouts) and Gra Prow (stir-fried spicy basil). Others treat themselves to more exotic dishes for example fried fish with sweet chilli sauce and yellow crab curry. A few of the more adventurous guests try more specialised Thai food including frog or shark curry, fresh (uncooked) crab papaya salad and the super-spicy southern-style, Orange Curry."
Typically, chef services minute rates are around $100-$150 USD per day for up to 8 guests, not including the price of food. The chef will require your orders, shop to gather fresh ingredients, cook meals and cleanup afterwards. Guests are welcome to accompany their Chef to Samui's fresh fish market to buy fresh ingredients and may get some Thai cooking tips by keeping track of what's going on in the kitchen area. The low costs of seafood in the local fish market imply that to nibble on top class seafood much more economically than in Samui restaurants with freshness guaranteed. For example, king size prawns could be picked up for around 2-300 Thai Baht per kilogram in the market but are sold in Chaweng restaurants for approximately 1000 Thai Baht per kilogram.
Some of the islands Villa Rental companies can organise your in-villa chef services irrespective of which villa rental company you book your villa with. Chefs can be hired for particular meals, half days, full days and special attractions such as parties and BBQs.
So get prepared to relax and get stuffed! Your Koh Samui villa rental chef is on her way.
