The Story of Chef Santi Wongsawat & Ocean Spice Samui

 

From the renowned “Phensiri Restaurant” in Koh Samui — where Chef Santi Wongsawat built his reputation through refined Thai flavors and heartfelt hospitality — comes his newest seaside venture, Ocean Spice Samui.

Nestled by the tranquil shore of Bangrak Bay, Ocean Spice invites you to unwind and savor the beauty of the sunset while enjoying a relaxed yet elegant dining experience by the sea.

 

With over 35 years of culinary experience, both in Thailand and across several countries in Europe, Chef Santi brings a world of knowledge, taste, and craftsmanship to every plate he creates.

Guided by his philosophy of authenticity and respect for ingredients, he is dedicated to using only the finest local produce — sustainably sourced from Samui and nearby regions. Each dish reflects his belief that great food should be pure, flavorful, beautifully presented, and safe to enjoy.

 

At Ocean Spice Samui, every recipe is crafted from years of culinary exploration, blending traditional Thai roots with modern European sensibilities. The result is a selection of dishes that celebrate the richness of Thai cuisine through the lens of island life — simple, soulful, and full of character.

 

Now open by the sea, Ocean Spice Samui welcomes you to experience Chef Santi’s passion — a place where Thai flavors meet the ocean breeze, and every sunset meal becomes a memory to cherish.
