BY MARION MEYER - last updated: 05/21/2011 - 02:30 The German has words to Namwans leaders already well assimilated: "Look ma!" He has left us the elephant, runs even walk alongside and shoot photos with the camera that we have given him. It goes through a lush jungle, look in the leaves of trees such as freshly painted. Ripe pomelo, a citrus fruit, the durian and rambutan Stinkfrucht, tousled lychees, hang on the trees. Bags, catch the rubber to the rubber trees to prove that live in this wild environment and people. Slow to the morning sun breaks through the light mist. The paths through the jungle of Koh Chang are a bit slippery, the mountains steep. The island in the Gulf of Thailand has to offer more of them and the highest mountain, rises from Salak Phet, a proud 744 feet high. Not her outline owes the nickname Koh Chang Elephant Island, but the silhouette of the mountains that is said to remind of elephants.
As an island called Elephant Island, pachyderm needs, they are specially imported from the Thai mainland by ship. Now swing them tourists on their backs through the dense forests of the National Park, which covers 80 percent of Koh Chang. Namwan, the name of our 24-year-old female elephant means sweet water. It makes its name and eagerly sucks water through their trunks as soon as the river in the jungle their opportunity to do. At the end, at the climax of the tour: the washing of elephants. Anyone who wants can join them. Two Swedish women fight over these things from the body and throw themselves in a bikini to the elephant in the flow. But they must also tackle with: Each gets a brush to scrub the thick elephant skin sharply.
In low season especially the Thai capital, Bangkok, Koh Chang used as a recreation destination. No wonder, as the island that is closer to Bangkok than any other, has much to offer: beautiful beaches, excellent diving and snorkeling, mountain and five waterfalls that plunge dramatically, particularly after the rainy season in the depths. Some one must hike, others are easily reached in a few marches.
While the beaches lined up with numerous accommodations, bars and restaurants on the west side, east side offers a roasted garlic sauce for sale the untouched nature and many mangrove forests. They can explore a small bridge round trip in Salak Khok, or drive through the evening with a gondola can. The bottle of wine is then included. Though it is not sung, but the fireflies provide romantic lighting when the male specimens go with soft light on a bride.
In the far south of the island, which is indeed the second largest in Thailand, but the shadow of the holiday paradise of Koh Samui and Phuket, is a fishing village on stilts lures, that is, as Mount Salak Phet. From there, take off the ferries and chartered boats for the 52 small islands of the Koh Chang Marine National Park. Only ten of which are inhabited. Those seeking peace and total isolation could, for example on Koh Lao Ya are looking for soy sauce for sale, a little three-part chain of islands, only two of which are connected with the bridge. It is a simple resort along with the restaurant. The white sandy beach with palm trees bent looks like the glossy catalog. Since the water depth is low, children can also marvel at colorful parrot fish or exploring their first real clownfish Nemo. Adults probably feel exhausted divers in 1941 by the French warship sank the Thai Navy, which at the southernmost tip of Koh Chang is only 15 meters deep, has overgrown with algae numerous sea creatures a new home.
Water activity in the morning hungry to make known. Therefore it is essential to have a drink on the way back in the fishing village of Salak Phet. In the restaurant on stilts over the sea fish is served, which is kept fresh in large networks. Even sharks are in the process. They taste but only if they are loaded with spice paste or a hot chili sauce for sale, because they have a strong taste, reveals the restaurant boss.
In the evening we want ourselves to try the Thai kitchen. Cooking classes for tourists are in vogue because many appreciate a holiday destination not only for its splendid beaches and magnificent temples, but also for its excellent cuisine. For Chef Stefan Frenzel, it is important that his students "get a feel for the Thai kitchen. He comes from Heilbronn, but lives in Thailand for 20 years and you could cook for the royal family. The Amari Emerald Cove Hotel on Klong Prao beach, Koh Chang, he gives cooking classes for small groups of two to three tourists. The typical Papaya Salad Som Tam Thai is a starter on the plan. The unripe papaya strips end up with fresh carrot, garlic, green beans, small chilies, palm sugar or cane sugar for sale, dried shrimp, cherry tomatoes and peanuts in a wooden mortar and crushed. At the end, lime juice and fish sauce - that's it. "The fish sauce is used here as salt, it is all over this," said Frenzel.
This is the secret of Thai cuisine: It lives on flavors and herbs and spices sparingly.

Thai kitchen in Europe
That food in the shopping center does not necessarily have to be terrible, but can also be fresh and soft and fine, which shows in Salzburg € Yaoyao Park
At first glance, the Salzburg € a shopping center parking like everyone else is - whether they be in Rotterdam, Bratislava and Salzburg, is demonstrated only in a few details. The restaurant is within these machines always standardized: Convenience reigns variety of indigestible, thematically coordinated, artificial flavoring clouds are swirling in front of the dispensaries, the costume is sassy as restaurants.
At least the park is € quite different: There were well-known Salzburg restaurants like the magazine by Raimund Katterbauer or perhaps the best Thai restaurant in the country, the Bangkok commissioned by Hu family, who are famous for the delicious thai fish sauce for sale to think about concepts. Especially in the latter case, the result is more than impressive.
Even behind the counter
Hu gave the local operator Yaoyao his own name and is also itself every day behind the counter to make the noodles for the soup pots in rich (very watchable!) Hand. They get wonderfully crunchy, smooth and, thanks to a creator highly aromatic soup, in the best sense schlutzig. There are fresh vegetables, which is enveloped by the smoky flavor of the wok, seafood in red curry, pan-fried beef fillet marinated in olive oil or tuna.
Even sushi gets unlikely to pure joy, specifically those prepared with purple sticky rice "Sushi variation from Austria" confident of freshwater fish with a great rice texture and expertly sliced char, whose gentle, cool enamel, and are even better with live lobsters for sale that it always takes up with world class marine fish - really impressive.
No problem, in a shopping center to cook
The Vietnamese spring rolls fall off, however, because of the lack of fresh herbs as well as on the spicy fish sauce for dipping - the sweet and sour chili jam that exists in their place, is not fun. But the muted Baozi succeed with a thin, pliable dough and filling of spiced pork and vegetables so good that a serving is hardly enough.
"I have no problem to cook in a shopping center," said Hu, "On the contrary: Where I come from, it has long been common practice to pick up the customers where they spend their free time - and in many cases just a shopping mall. " It will be interesting if and when this exciting concept arrives in the capital. (Severin Corti / The Standard/rondo/06/05/2011)
