TASTES OF SAMUI is a culinary market that was started in March 2021, by the guys at Secret Garden, to breathe some life back into our community after all the interuptions caused by the pandemic. It’s an event that brings together about a dozen of Samui’s restaurants, all serving small dishes, along with some fabulous live entertainment, plus refreshing wines and cocktails. It was great to see the event back in 2022.
Our thanks to John, Johan and the Secret Garden team for inviting Sisters on Samui to be the charity partner for the event again. Our gratitude to all of the businesses who shared their food and drinks at the stalls; the amazing lineup of live entertainment – and the Samui community that came to enjoy a fabulous afternoon by the beach.
Sisters on Samui hosted our first ever “Bottle Tombola” and raised 16,870 THB on the day. These funds help us bring hope and sustenance to many families in need through our #FeedSamui, Local Matters and soon to launch Education programs.
All of the prizes were donated by local business and Samui residents (see list below). For this we thank you! You helped us raise funds to provide food packages to 84 families.
The SOS Painting Ladies were also selling their handpainted crafts on the day – with some beautiful stools and boxes on offer.
The ladies have been meeting every Wednesday for a few hours of painting – it’s a fun activity, and helps to raise funds for SOS.
Also – thanks to our volunteers to helping on the day at the event.
