Description
A hand-painted sarong with your own design on it beats another elephant-print emergency purchase from the ferry pier. Sam Batik lets you sketch, paint and take home a piece of Koh Lanta that won’t look identical to six others on the beach.
Sam helps turn rough ideas into workable outlines, whether that’s a name, a bold floral pattern or something more ambitious. The studio session takes a few quiet hours, so it suits a rainy afternoon, a slow day off the scooter, or anyone willing to swap poolside inertia for paint-stained fingers.
Finished sarongs are the obvious choice, but scarves and Sam’s own ready-made batik work are worth a look too. His designs have proper hand-drawn character, not the factory-print flatness found in every second souvenir rack.
Book ahead if your Lanta stay is short. The workshop fills up, and turning up with a ferry departure looming is a fine way to discover the limits of time travel.
