An Unforgettable Gelato Experience at Gelato 39 in Khao Lak
There are many words to describe the Gelato 39 experience in Khao Lak, Thailand, but the one that resonates the most is - enchanting. As a passionate lover of gelato, I have traveled far and wide in my quest to taste the finest. Yet, I was left utterly bewitched by the masterful artisanal creations at Gelato 39.
Each scoop, made by an Italian maestro, is a symphony of flavors that transport you straight to the heart of Italy. I was fortunate to taste a medley of heavenly concoctions – strawberry, hazelnut, tiramisu, cheesecake, and coconut praline. Each was a revelation, but together, they were an exquisite masterpiece.
The strawberry gelato, ripe with the sweet juiciness of summer berries, was balanced by the rich, nutty undertones of the hazelnut, creating an intriguing flavor profile. The tiramisu was a homage to its traditional Italian roots, a sweet, creamy delight with the deep notes of coffee. The cheesecake, perfectly tangy yet sweet, was a gelato version of its baked counterpart, and left us craving for more.
But the star of the day was the coconut praline - a heavenly treat that perfectly embodied the tropical essence of Thailand. The combination of sweet, creamy coconut with the crunchy, buttery praline was pure genius.
Even the waffle cone, a seemingly humble element of the experience, was perfected here. Crunchy, light, and with a delicate sweetness, it cradled the gelato with care, and added a delightful crunch to every bite.
The ambiance at Gelato 39 matches the excellence of its gelato - warm, inviting, and with a distinct Italian charm. The service, too, was impeccable, echoing the passion and dedication that goes into crafting every scoop.
In a landscape dotted with gelaterias, Gelato 39 stands head and shoulders above the rest. It’s not just a place to satiate your sweet tooth, but a venue to experience an art form that bridges the Italian craft of gelato making with the soulful vibrancy of Thailand. It’s a must-visit for anyone in Khao Lak, a rhapsody of flavors that you...
Read moreThere are not many places in Khao Lak where one can get a real cappuccino. Enter the Gelato 39 Italian Ice-cream café, located on the road that goes from the main thoroughfare of Khao Lak to Bang Niang beach. The thing is, the café is run by an Italian fellow and he obviously takes pride in making sure the quality of the drinks and the desserts are of a high standard. There are also cakes to be had, such as Tiramisu and a hearty cheesecake. Of course, there are heaps of ice-creams, as the name of the restaurant would suggest. I had a go at the Tiramisu on one occasion and the cheesecake on another, followed both times by a cappuccino. I have also tried several ice-creams, all delicious. The cafe itself is immaculately appointed, and there is Wi-Fi and a much-appreciated air-conditioner. The prices are relatively high, but you get what you pay for. There is no other place like this in all...
Read moreItalian gelatoria on the sleepy streets of Khao Lak. We walked through the Bang Niang market to get there. We sampled the home made tiramisu, salted caramel and cheesecake. We’d already enjoyed the Nutella at our hotel, which they supply to but it’s a million times the price. We each had two scoops in a waffle cone, Nutella and tiramisu. The Nutella is to die for and the tiramisu really tastes like tiramisu. Waffle cone was fresh and delicious. For 278baht, this is phenomenal. You can sit inside or outside, with complimentary WiFi. They also sell non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages. Would highly recommend and will come back to try the...
