Sunsets and beaches always come up when talking about Koh Samui, but there’s much more to it. It’s also a paradise for food lovers. What do you feel like trying? Something local? Or maybe something you’re more familiar with? Whatever it is, you can find it in Koh Samui’s restaurants.

Gaeng Som Pla

Made with turmeric, chillies, and fresh fish, Gaeng Som Pla is a delicious fish curry popular in southern Thailand. The taste is quite strong, so if you like bold flavours, try some of this fish curry.

Khao Yam

A colourful rice salad that’s fresh and healthy, Khao Yam is made with herbs, shredded coconut, dried shrimp, and a tangy dressing. Every mouthful is crunchy, salty, sweet, and sour.

Where can you find all these Thai delights and international treats? If you want to spend a few days here trying delicious food, stay in a Koh Samui resort with on-site dining facilities. You have several options, including Santiburi Koh Samui.
