Coconut Museum, also known as Samui Renong, is a small coconut and coconut-oil museum in Ang Thong, Koh Samui. Displays explain coconut production and show products made from different parts of the fruit; staff can also arrange a tour of the oil-making facility. Stop for homemade coconut ice cream, then browse the shop for coconut oil and other local products. The visit is compact, so it suits travelers already exploring this part of the island more than anyone making a long detour for a full day out.
Coconut farming on Koh Samui
Coconuts have a long connection with Koh Samui. The island’s early growers collected coconuts from the sea, then learned which trees could grow in the local soil and climate. The museum traces that history and the island’s former role as a major coconut supplier in Thailand.
Koh Samui is no longer the country’s largest coconut producer. The museum keeps the story in view through displays about coconuts and their uses.
Displays and oil production
Inside, information panels introduce coconuts and coconut-oil production. The space is small, and a self-guided visit can be brief. Products made from different parts of the coconut are also on display, with more available in the shop.
A tour of the facility where coconut oil is made may be available. Ask about it when you arrive, and contact the museum in advance if you are interested in a workshop to prepare coconut oil yourself.
