Five Islands Tour
The pretty silhouettes of these offshore islands disguises the fact that they are a gold mine, or rather a gold nest. Amid the rocky outcroppings, swiftlets make their nests of twigs and spit, an ingredient that ranks among the world’s most expensive animal products. The nests are collected and sent to Chinese markets for the delicacy of bird’s-nest soup, renowned for its health benefits. The Five Islands restaurant conducts tours to the islands to learn about the harvesting methods and scramble around the rugged coves. Afterwards a Thai meal is served at the restaurant.

Dog Rescue Centre Samui
Donations of time and/or money are hugely appreciated at the aptly named Dog Rescue Centre Samui. The organisation has played an integral role in keeping the island’s dog population under control through an active spaying and neutering program. The centre also vaccinates dogs against rabies. Volunteers are always needed to take care of the pooches at either of the kennel/clinics (located in Chaweng and Taling Ngam). Call the centre for volunteering details or swing by the Wave Samui (opposite) for additional info.

Samui Institute of Thai Culinary Arts
If you're contemplating a Thai cooking course, SITCA is the place to do it. It has daily Thai-cooking classes and courses in the aristocratic Thai art of carving fruits and vegetables into intricate floral designs. Lunchtime classes begin at 11am, while dinner starts at 4pm (both cost 1950B for a three-hour course with three or more dishes). Included is an excellent tutorial about procuring ingredients in your home country. Of course you get to eat your projects, and even invite a friend along for the meal. Complimentary DVDs with Thai cooking instruction are also available so you can practise at home.

The second Spa Samui branch, Spa Samui Village (or Spa Village) camps out on the side of a forested mountain.

The setting is rustic and peaceful, perfect for steeping in the herbal steam cave or breathing deeply during a yoga session. A complimentary shuttle travels between this branch and Spa Samui Beach.
