Overview

The only Wellness Tour on Samui, you will experience how for centuries locals and visitors to Thailand have used traditional Thai medicine, methods and practices to heal and enhance mental and physical wellbeing, you will learn and see how the humble coconut is transformed to oil, hear from an expert on Thai medicines, learn how to prepare and cook wonderful Thai dishes, listen as your body thanks you for a stimulating foot reflexology session, and finally, feel the spiritual calmness of meeting and being blessed by a Monk.

This is a small group tour(8 people max!) where we start your day with a visit to a small local coconut processing plant and participate in making oil from the raw product...Coconuts!  Samui was first known as the Island of Coconuts because of the abundance and quality of the product, and you will learn the fascinating and many unknown health benefits of Coconut oil that you can start using right away.

Next, we visit a Thai Organic business where our local host will freshly prepare an organic super juice of your choice and offer a delicious organic bliss ball.  Relax back to enjoy and learn about the many traditional Thai herbs and medicines used for centuries and still very applicable in our everyday and modern society.

Feeling refreshed, we travel on to visit a local Samui chef who will share her herb garden with you explaining the many health properties of Thai herbs and where you will pick a few to use in your cooking class.  Here, you will learn how to cook three Thai dishes, not only to enjoy for lunch but also taking a skill away to use at home.

Now its time to give your feet a break so put them up for a relaxing foot massage and reflexology that improves circulation, stimulates your muscles, reduces any tension and pain .. and no extra charge for the odd snore or two!

And finally, our last stop is a spiritual one, at a prestigious Temple, or a Wat in Thai, to meet a resident Monk and receive a blessing.  Feel the calm descend as the Monk sprinkles holy water while wishing you happiness and health, tying a sai sin around your wrist.

Feeling relaxed, and in a positive mood from learning new things about Thailand's wellness practices, we get you back to your accommodation in time for a swim and Happy Hour!

Another luxury in our itinerary is the unrushed resort collection of our guests. We allow the guests to enjoy the stunning buffet breakfast at their resorts – this means no need to get up so early!

We had a fantastic day with very interesting and nice activities. Plenty of time to relax and enjoy. Very different from other tourist tours we have been on so we all enjoyed a different day. We were only the three of us (parents and 17 years old girl), and it was great to have both driver and guide following us at our pace. It was very interesting to see a beautyful part of the Island which we had not seen on other tours. For lunch we cooked 4 dishes from ingredients that had been ligned up beforehand, so some cooking to do but without spending time on preparing or tidying up 👍🏻

It was a relaxing trip and good way to explore different parts of the island. It is very costly though.

The communication before the day was good and we received an email confirming collection time from our hotel. Our guide, Dai, was great, she conducted the tour in her air conditioned car which in the heat was a real positive. She was always there if we needed her but not too involved when we didn’t. Best part of the tour for me was the cooking and then eating of the 4 dishes we prepared. The coconut oil production was really interesting as was the visit to a temple to receive a blessing from a monk! The massage was so enjoyable I actually fell asleep! Definitely recommend.

Fabulous relaxed tour. Our tour guide Dai was lovely and very informative. The transport was a comfortable modern car. The coconut processing was daunting at first but turned out to be informative and we really enjoyed it. The organic cafe was fabulous with tasty treats and lots to looks at and purchase if so desired. The cooking class was very fun and we got to cook 4 dishes which became our lunch (we strongly advise not to eat breakfast prior as lunch is BIG). We then moved on to have our foot massage & reflexology which was so good we both fell asleep. The view in the salon was sublime as it’s directly over the beach. From there, our tour guide Dai, was happy to take us for a wonder shopping as we had time. After that we went on to a temple with breathtaking views. All in all, a relaxing and varied day.

All day my friend and I were treated. It was well worth the money. The trip to the coconuts, the morning tea, spa and the food class was exceptional. The only thing I would recommend was the spa should be last. That way, we would be relaxed for the trip home, but that is impossible.
