L et’s Meet Christoph Trocker
What is your full name and age?
Christoph Trocker, 36 Years old
What is your current Job Position?
Executive Chef at the Hyatt Regency Hua
Hin.
How long have you lived in Hua Hin
or been coming to Hua Hin?
I have been living in Hua Hin for 1 Year
and 9 month
What did you know about Hua Hin
before you moved here?
I have been to Thailand several times
before on vacation before I start my new
job assignment, but unfortunately never
been to Hua Hin. Before moving here, I
knew that it was the summer residence
of the King is located here and as well
is very famous for their white beaches
and a Holyday destination especially for
golfers
What do you like most about your
profession?
I love cooking for other people, being
creative, I can do both of that. At the
same time i can get to know new dishes,
spices, people, cultures and countries all
over the world.
What do you like least about your
profession? The busiest times in a hotel
are public holidays, so i work when all
other are off or on holiday. This is not
always easy when you have a partner
or a family. I am working in an amazing
environment where others spend their
holiday - but come to think of that, that’s
positive!
What do you like most about Hua
Hin?
Hua Hin is a small, nice, clean and safe
town compared to other areas and cities
in Thailand. The best of it is on my days
off here I feel like myself is on holydays
here
What is your favorite restaurant and
why?
As i spend most of the time in the hotel, i
know our Hyatt Restaurants are the best.
I really like Mc Farland House, because
it’s right at the beachfront and you can
enjoy a good glass of wine and a meal in
a beautiful environment direct at at thet
beach. But as complete contrast to that, i
also enjoy the rich variety of food stands
at the Cicada Market just outside the
Hyatt Regency Hua Hin. They have great
food there.
What do you like to do in your free
time and why?
I spend the time with my Swiss wife,
who i met here in Hua Hin. Taking a
15 Minutes’ drive to the house of my
12
July 15 - August 15 , 2015
Parents-in-laws, where i can relax, have a
swim in the pool, drink a beer and switch
off my head completely for a few hours.
What would you recommend to newcomers to do in Hua Hin and why?
I would recommend they drive up to
Monkey Mountain at soi 88. Enjoying
the sunset with a terrific and the best
view over Hua Hin. When you are at
the right time there you can enjoy all
this with around 200-250 monkeys what
surrounding you. It’s just a hill for me
compare to the alps what I have in my
hometown direct in front of my house
but at least it reminds me somehow to
home
Tell us a surprising fact that the
public might not know about you?
When i was young, i was rather wild
boy and teenager and I did many kind of
extreme-sports what I exceed sometimes
over my limit. Over the years I came on
a count of away 67 bone fractures. Its
sounds a lot but all health very well
What is the most outlandish thing
you have ever done and why?
It’s for myself also but mostly for all
my friends and Family back home
outlandish I guess that I left my beautiful
small hometown in Austria when I was
18 and over all these years worked and
still moving around the world with my
Job. In my early years I wanted to have
more experience outside of Austria,
then Europe, after middle east I am in
Asia now and who knows where I move
next, I guess my life was until now very
outlandish and continue,……..
