What to do and see in Ko Samui, Surat Thani Province: The Best Things to do for Honeymoon

January 10, 2022 Kandra Bartel

Koh Samui was once a Thai fishing community, and that charming sensibility is still present today. Spending time in Bophut is a wonderful way to soak up local culture; the beachy village restaurants and pubs are perfect spots to experience the sunset. There aren’t many other places where you can bask in the camp of a cabaret show and the solemnity of a Buddhist temple. As far as the latter goes, Wat Plai Laem is a magnificent vision of gilded red rooftops and a massive spindly-armed statue of Guanyin.

My partner and I had our cooking class with Ying on the 25th of February and fortunately for us the other couple cancelled and so it became our own personal cooking class. Ying picked us up from our hotel and then took us to a local market, at the market we discussed what type of recipes we would like to cook , we wanted to do traditional recipes and Ying was excited to teach us some of her local dishes. We were welcomed into Ying's home by her parents and of course her 3 kitties and Ying gave us a tour of the vegetable patch and showed us her impressive compost set up. During our tour Ying picked some chillies and kaffir lime leaves and then we headed inside to start cooking. I really enjoyed the way that Ying guided our cooking with direction and guidance and it was great to be shown different techniques to get the best flavours out of the ingredients. Ying wanted us to cook each dish to our own tastes, so we made each dish as spicy or as mild as we wanted depending on our preference and she showed us how to alter each dish to make it perfect. We then got to eat our creations while Ying and her parents tidied up for us and got everything ready for the next dish. Ying then topped off the experience by emailing all of the recipes for the dishes that we cooked and even sent us some other recipes that she thought we might like to try cooking the following weekend after our class. We had the best day with Ying and would recommend this experience to anyone travelling to Koh Samui ????

Combination of thai cooking class and a tour of an amazing sustainable and acquaponic garden where you pick the majority of the ingredients for the three dishes you cook. So interesting and the story of how Chef Lat and her husband developed the place over the years, together with their family home is inspirational. This is way above other cooking classes on Samui. You’re mad if you are on Samui and don’t do it. And they still have lots of ideas for the future!

TL;DR;: Recommend! First of all, Joseph, thank you for your work and the work of your team. We were here at Sept. 2019. It was an unplanned visit a few days before the end of our holidays. We stopped near office entrance to ask about the route. And then we met Joseph. Half an hour later we ordered a coat, suit and 5 shirts. On the second day we had the first check. Coat and suit draft's was good. And one shirt was ready. On the third day we had the last check. Everything was ready. But I changed my mind a bit about the size of the shirts and asked Joseph to make them smaller. After that I ordered another 5 shirts. By evening, the entire order was ready. These guys work at an unbelievable speed. If I will be on Samui again, I will buy another suit)) PS: thanks for present ))
