บ้านมะพร้าว Coconut Museum / Samui Renong Co., Ltd. / Spaco Virgin Coconut Oil
Tucked away in the Ang Thong area of Koh Samui, this modest attraction combines a small educational museum with a working operation run by Samui Renong Co., Ltd. and Spaco Virgin Coconut Oil. Visitors can learn about the role of coconuts in Thai culture and the local economy, follow the production process from palm to finished product, and browse a shop stocked with coconut-derived goods — most notably their virgin coconut oil, which has drawn strong praise from visitors for its quality. The experience is compact and low-key. Exhibits cover traditional and modern coconut cultivation, and a farm area sits behind the main building. It suits travellers with a genuine curiosity about local agriculture and cottage industry rather than those seeking a full-scale attraction. The budget-friendly pricing makes it an easy add-on rather than a standalone destination, and the on-site shop gives it practical appeal for anyone looking to take home locally produced goods. Good to know: Opening hours are not reliably published online, and at least one visitor has arrived to find the museum closed for the day. It is worth contacting your accommodation or a local tour operator to confirm current hours before making the trip out. Given the limited size of the exhibits, most visitors will find this works best as a short stop paired with other sights in the Ang Thong area rather than a dedicated half-day excursion.

Visitor Reviews
Samui needs this kind of local museum to present and sell local products. I reached the place half an hour late than the operating hours but could finally buy some products and visited the farm behind. You shouldn't leave Samui without taking photos with those pile of coconuts.
i have tried their coconut oil and I must say that its the finest coconut oil i havee ever have in my life. Very good for health and its highly nuterious when you ise it in your daily life.
Cute little museum where you can learn about the coconut and coconut oil production. It has a store in it with products from coconut. If you are around that area, it’s a nice place to visit.
Tips for Visiting Temples & Culture
Dress Modestly
Cover shoulders and knees at all temples. Carry a light scarf or sarong — some temples lend wraps, but not all. Shoes come off before entering any building with a Buddha image.
Mind Your Feet
Never point your feet at a Buddha image or a monk — it's considered deeply disrespectful. When sitting inside a temple, tuck your feet behind you or to the side.
Ask Before Photographing
Exterior photos are almost always fine, but some interior halls prohibit photography. Look for signs, and never pose irreverently with Buddha images — it's a legal offense in Thailand.
