thai cooking local market beef salad untrained staff duty manager pool service

i participated in the thai cooking experience, it started at 11am. we went to the local fresh market with chef banana, this was very authentic. we tasted local delicacies and learned about the culture. we cooked an angus beef salad and a spicy thai prawn soup after returning to the hotel.

The front desk staff seemed undertrained. the duty manager was unprofessional and aggressive. I could not even get his name. staff at the pool did not seem interested in serving guests. i felt i was bothering them when i ordered something.
