Thailand is a country famous for its amazing cuisine, and this is more prevalent in Southern Thai food, which has strong spice and rich flavours. Exploring these dishes gives a closer look at the region’s food culture.

 Kua Kling And Gaeng Som

Kua kling is a dry curry packed with chilli and herbs, while gaeng som brings a sour and spicy flavour with turmeric and tamarind. Guests staying at Avani+ Samui, among others, can explore nearby Koh Samui restaurants in Chaweng to try these well-known dishes.

Gaeng Tai Pla

This curry is famous for its rich flavour, created with fermented fish and vegetables. It combines bold spices with the gentler tastes of the veggies and fish, which might be a lot to handle if you’re not expecting it.

 Pad Sataw with Shrimp
