Bangkok - Chef Giovanni at No.43 Italian Bistro

Cape+Kantary is a magazine that you will find in all the #CapeandKantary Properties.

In every edition, there is always an article that we like to share.

In this edition - https://www.capekantaryhotels.com/ckmagazine/Issue15/index.html - (Pages 82-83) one writer visited #CapeHouse in #Bangkok to meet Chef Giovanni Salice.

Chef Giovanni is originally from the beautiful Amalfi Coast in southern Italy but he started his culinary career in the northern city of Milan.

In 2010 he arrived in Thailand and he has been here ever since.

Read more of the article in the magazine but if you visit No.43 Italian Bistro - https://www.capehouse.com/dining.php - be sure to have his risotto with porcini mushroom and truffle. The rice is cooked to perfection and finished off with a generous helping of butter, Parmesan cheese, and slices of truffle.

In this edition - http://www.capekantaryhotels.com/ckmagazine/Issue15/index.html - (Pages 74-76) one writer visited Kantary Beach Khao Lak and went on a road trip to Khao Sok and the stunning untouched beauty of Khao Sok National Park – more than 700 square kilometers.

They started with breakfast at Kantary Beach Khao Lak. Then it was time to take the road to Khao Sok National Park – approximately one hour – and here we took a guided tour, you can take a tour or just take a map and hike on your own. The park is covered by the oldest evergreen rainforest in the world, huge limestone mountains shooting straight up in the air, deep valleys, breathtaking lakes, exciting caves, wild animals and much more - http://www.khaosok.com

Then you may want to visit Cheow Larn Lake - http://www.khaosok.com/activities/ - and here are the three majestic limestone mountains rising out of the lake – make sure you visit the popular ‘Guilin Viewpoint’ - https://khaosoklake.com/khao-sok-lake-adventure-tours/

Have lunch on the floating bungalows - https://khaosoklake.com/floating-bungalows-khao-sok-raft-houses-thailand/ - certainly different hotel accommodation - and after lunch we took a dip.

By this time it was time to return - we stopped at Praphaphirom Pavilion and took a look at the beautiful view and also stopped at วัดเขาพัง to pay our respects and see the bridge stretching across the river.

After that we were happy to return to Kantary Beach - http://www.kantarycollection.com/kantarybeach-khaolak/ - and have a cocktail at the Otter’s Bar where we watched the sun setting.
