- GO SAMUI COOK - A warm welcome awaits as the cruise ship arrives at Nathon Pier. Guests enjoy a private transfer through lush coconut groves to a delightful family-run cooking school, where the island’s cherished Super Grandma joyfully opens her kitchen. This 4-hour private class, designed for cruise visitors, combines authentic cuisine, local culture, and genuine family warmth.
The adventure begins with a guided tour of Big Buddha Market, filled with the aromas of lemongrass, chili, and tropical fruits. After exploring vibrant stalls and selecting fresh ingredients, the class continues in a cozy open-air kitchen surrounded by palm trees. Under Super Grandma’s friendly guidance, four dishes—three savory and one dessert—are crafted, each highlighting Samui’s signature ingredient, coconut. Participants learn traditional recipes passed down through generations while enjoying laughter and stories.
As the woks quiet and plates are served, everyone gathers around a family-style table to share a delicious homemade meal. The day concludes with a smooth private transfer back to the pier, perfectly timed. A wonderful blend of flavor, friendship, and the warm heart of Thai home cooking.
