So today I headed back to Koh Samui for the first time in 5 years and I was very curious to see if I could find some authentic local Thai street food at reasonable prices given that most of the places on the island (East Coast at least) seem to be geared towards foreign tourists.
In the video, I say I’m in Maret, which is technically true but the town is actually called Hua Thanon. The district is Maret
Luckily, Ying from ‪@yingsthaicookinghome2839‬ recommended my a kanom jeen shop that is a family favourite and it didn't disappoint!
The thick, rich nam ya curry was a welcome change from the usual thin curry I'm used to and the pad mee samui was interesting if not a little sweet - 40 THB each - £0.95 / $1.15

Next I headed for Dim Sum and Bak Kut Teh at a little roadside restaurant called ร้านพันตำลึง:
90 THB - £2.10 / $2.45

I finished up with a coffee at Homegrown x Café K.O.B
Latte: 75 THB

In my opinion, Samui still has some great options for anyone serious about Thai street food, you just need to get away from Chewang, Lamai and Bophut. I want to give you options no matter where you are in Koh Samui so you can always enjoy some amazing local Thai food.

My name’s Gary and I’ve been living in Bangkok for the past five plus years and travelling Thailand for over ten. I’m obsessed with Thai street food and it’s that obsession that led me to start this KZfaq channel. I want to share my favourite hidden spots in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand so you can fall in love with authentic, local Thai food as much as I have!
I’ve never understood travelling to a town or city and not eating the local food. How else do you really connect with a place? Let’s get out and explore together and I guarantee you’ll find a whole different side to this wonderful country.
If you love seeing off the beaten path, non-touristy, local life and authentic local life in Bangkok and Thailand then this is the channel for you. If go go bars on the Sukhumvit Road are more your thing (I’m not judging) then maybe not!
