Itinerary: 

Pick up from accommodation. 



Your first stop is a visit to a hidden gem—a local coconut plantation. Learn about how coconuts shape the local economy and lifestyle. You will see how coconuts are processed and made into milk, oil and many other products.



Now it’s time to learn to cook! Prepare two traditional Southern Thai dishes with recipes passed down through generations. Experience the joy of open-air cooking, making dishes using a traditional Thai charcoal cooking method, surrounded by tropical nature.


Time for dessert! Make a delicious sweet treat such as “Khanom Klop,” Thai style coconut pancakes, or “Khanom Tuay,” a delicious coconut custard. 



Feeling satisfied? Time to travel to a nearby rum distillery, where the secrets of sugarcane rum-making will be revealed. Learn how this tropical island craft has been perfected over the years, turning sugarcane into rich, flavourful rum.



After a local rum tasting, it's time to unleash your inner mixologist by creating your own signature cocktail. Sip on your refreshing drink while soaking in the relaxed island vibes.
