Samui Canopy Adventures

Samui has long been known for its lovely beaches, warm water and countless coconut trees but there’s more to the island than that. We are talking about flying over Samui’s tropical jungle on cable rides on a zip-line adventure. The amazing bird’s eye views of this lush rainforest and its surroundings are truly memorable. Zipping along from line to line and pretending to be a modern-day Jane or Tarzan is a perfect and unique way to complement your Samui stay. Read More...

Samui Kiteboarding

Imagine how great it would be just doing nothing but enjoying the waves and the wind, kiteboarding or kitesurfing in Samui. The good news is there are a few good kiteboarding schools conveniently located on the island, so why not give it a try to see if this thrilling sport is really for you? Most schools have been on the island for over a decade and have high-standard equipment. And it’s good to know that safety is their primary concern. Read More...

Samui Quad Bikes and 3D Paintball

Children of all ages can play war at 3D Paintball's huge, sculpted terrain in the hills above Maenam. The same location is also used for bouncing around on quad bikes, though they are strictly for adults only. Alternatively, for a full day out, the management will organise a variety of adventure games deep in the jungle.

So if you like the sound of 'transferring the president', 'capturing the flag', 'village attack' or 'smugglers vs. police' this could be an ideal day out. Standard paintball guns are free - customers only pay for pellets, which are 3 Baht each. There's also a selection of BB Guns for hire, which are moulded to look menacingly like M16s and Kalashnikovs. Free hotel transfer.

Thai Cooking Schools

Thai cooking courses are an increasingly popular activity on the island. Thai cuisine's increasingly high profile worldwide and the easygoing environment of Samui's cookery schools no doubt encourage many visitors to take a course.

The best known independent school on the island, SITCA (Samui Institute of Culinary Arts, South Chaweng, Tel. 077 413 172) has two courses a day, a separate food carving course, a well stocked shop and an excellent restaurant, The Dining Room, attached. Centara Samui Beach Resort and Santiburi Resort both let guests loose in the kitchen for a variety of half and one day courses.
