Make two facing runs work together
A galley kitchen suits many homes in Koh Samui, from Chaweng to Bophut. We size every run around your appliances and storage list, and choose finishes that cope with salt air from the Gulf and the heavy rains between October and December.
A galley kitchen places work areas along two facing runs. It can organise preparation, cooking and storage in a long room, but the passage between the runs is part of the design. Begin with measured dimensions and mark any doors or routes that continue through the kitchen.
Check how appliances and drawers open into the central passage. A layout that looks tidy with every front closed may work differently when someone unloads the dishwasher while another person cooks. Position frequently used items around your routine and consider where bags, dishes and food preparation equipment will be placed.
Before adding a second run, compare a galley with a single-wall layout. More cabinets only help if there is still comfortable room to work and move. Note the windows, ventilation and lighting, then share your floor plan and appliance sizes. Our storage guide will help you turn ideas for a narrow Koh Samui kitchen into clear questions about cabinets and everyday use.
