Our story
About YouMe Bakery
Yesterday's traditions, today's pleasure.
A family heritage, a passion for baking and the authentic taste of Swiss and European traditions.
It all began with my dad, a baker by trade, who passed on to me his skills, his traditional recipes and above all his love of good bread. A precious heritage that I am now determined to keep alive through YouMe Bakery.
I have lived on the beautiful island of Koh Samui since 2008, where I built my life and grew my business over the years. My adventure began with YouMe Holiday, a travel agency specialising in excursions and activities that helps visitors discover the beauty of Koh Samui and the surrounding area.
In December 2025, I decided to open a new chapter of this adventure by creating YouMe Bakery in Maenam, in the same premises as YouMe Holiday. A new project inspired by my European roots, my dad's heritage and the wish to share the flavours and traditions that have shaped my story.
Swiss and European baking traditions
At YouMe Bakery, we keep the art of traditional Swiss and European baking alive, drawing on the recipes and artisanal skills my dad passed on to me.
We specialise above all in traditional Swiss pretzels, one of our signature products. What started as a passion for making real pretzels has gradually grown into a wider range of artisanal products, in response to growing demand and our customers' enthusiasm.
Today, our selection includes slow-fermented natural sourdough breads, dark breads, rye breads, wholemeal breads, oat and grain breads, as well as pretzels and other specialities inspired by European baking traditions.
Simple ingredients, authentic flavours
We believe that a good product starts with good ingredients, patience and skill.
All our products are made with care, following traditional artisanal methods. We use no additives, preservatives or colourings. We choose simple, quality ingredients and recipes that preserve and bring out the natural flavours of each product.
Slow fermentation and natural sourdough play an important part in our approach. They give our breads their character, their texture and their very special flavours.
A little taste of home in Koh Samui
Located in Maenam, on the beautiful island of Koh Samui in Thailand, YouMe Bakery brings together European baking heritage and the island's relaxed way of life.
Our ambition is simple: to keep traditional recipes alive, to share our passion for authentic artisanal baking and to offer residents and visitors alike a little taste of Europe, wherever they come from.
For us, YouMe Bakery is much more than just a bakery. It carries on a family heritage passed down by my dad, opens a new chapter of our adventure in Koh Samui and is a way of sharing the pleasure of good things with everyone.
