Koh Samui might call to mind beaches and spas – but its coconuts are of particular acclaim. Behind tourism, coconuts are Samui’s second industry. Local growers will tell you that Koh Samui coconuts are the very best of Thailand’s coconuts – we believe it.

3 ways to enjoy Thailand coconuts

3 ways to enjoy Thailand coconuts

Before coconut water stepped into its fifteen minutes of fame, you might have equated coconut with a sickly Bounty bar or other fake confection – but that’s set to change.

1. Fresh Thai coconut

Fresh coconut juice has more vitamin C than orange juice! Happily, someone else will wield something machete-esque to cut the coconut open. Drink the juice and then use the provided spoon to scoop out the sides. (Parents – this is a great drink to get your kids hooked on).

Ask for a fresh coconut at any Thai beach restaurant – they’re the ultimate hangover cure (and a refreshing break from Thai beer).

2. Thai coconut shake

Coconut milk blitzed with ice, guaranteed to cool you down faster than sub-zero air-conditioning. Both fresh coconuts & coconut shake options are available at just about every restaurant on the island – no need to spend time searching.

Get the recipe to make a coconut shake just like in Thailand.

3. Thai coconut rum, jam, candy, oil, ice cream… and a lampshade
