Highlights

When the cruise ship docks at Nathon Pier, the taste of Samui truly begins. A private transfer passes through lush coconut groves to a cozy family-run cooking school led by the island’s beloved Super Grandma, the heart of traditional Thai cuisine. The 4-hour class starts with a guided stroll through Big Buddha Market, exploring herbs, fruits, and spices bursting with local flavor before returning to a tropical kitchen. Four dishes — three savory and one dessert — highlight Samui’s signature ingredient, coconut, and the gentle rhythm of island life. Each bite tells a story of family warmth and authentic Thai culture. After a relaxing meal, a private ride ensures a smooth, on-time return to the pier. Cook Thai, Learn with Family, and Feel the Coconut Spirit of Samui.

About Koh Samui

Koh Samui is a Thai island in the Gulf of Thailand, with coconut palms, white beaches, a giant golden Buddha and a base for nearby marine parks.

Koh Samui, one of Thailand's largest islands, is ringed by coconut palms and beaches, with a hilly jungle interior. Chaweng has the longest stretch of white sand and the liveliest nightlife, Lamai is quieter, and Bophut's Fisherman's Village keeps old wooden shophouses by the shore. On a small islet joined to the north-east shore by a causeway, the 12-metre seated Big Buddha looks across the water.

Top-ranked sights in Koh Samui: Wat Khunaram (Mummified Monk), Big Buddha Temple (Wat Phra Yai), Na Muang Waterfall.
