Gourmet Tour-Samui Island & Authentic Thai Cuisine

OVERVIEW

Dine on an array of classic Thai seafood dishes at a beachfront restaurant after admiring some of the island’s natural wonders. In the mountainous interior, you will find Na Muang Waterfall 1, the larger of two cascades that plummet into tranquil pools. Other extraordinary natural sights include the Grandfather and Grandmother Rocks, which are named for their visually arresting shapes, and the gorgeous coastline along Chaweng Beach Road, which you will follow to the restaurant. There you will indulge in a multi-course meal of seafood dishes that capture the essence of Thai cuisine. The choices in appetizers alone include salt-crusted grilled fish, baked prawns with glass noodles and hoy tod – a crispy mussel or oyster omelet that is a beloved street food. The main course options are just as generous. You might try the stir-fried shrimp, a spicy shrimp curry or Pla Som, a fermented sour fish dish that is a regional specialty.
