Long Dtai

Long Dtai means traveling in the south defines our dining experience at the restaurant very much. My curiosity as a fan of David Thompson from many places in London & Bangkok, we decided to dine there. We found the authentic southern Thai cuisine with locally & sustainability products took us to the culinary journey of the beautiful South of Thailand. We love the fresh crabs in the yellow curry soup. The harmony of fresh ingredients & spices are excellent. The location, the service are simply elegant.

Delicious southern Thai food in a stunning setting. The cocktails were very tasty too. The beef skewer was some of the best beef I’ve had in a long time. We also had the spicy local scallops with fresh ginger and were pleased to actually have spice for the first time since arriving to Koh Samui. The egg curry was also outstanding and a very flavorful and unique dish. I would absolutely recommend to friends and look forward to returning on a future trip

One of must check in place in samui, the restaurant is located in Cape Fahn Hotel, you can park the car and get the free boat transfer, it took just 2-3 mins to hotel. Staff is attentive and nice. Foods are yummy, tasty and some menus is a kind of fusion. Traditional souhthern thai dishes are very authentic thai taste. We ordered a lot of menus and all is delicious. Grilled mussels with herbs, curry with pumpkin, boiled salty fish with belly pork, crab meat curry are all good. They actually served free rice with unlimited. Foods came fast and almost all at once. We really enjoyed all dishes and atmosphere here. Also ordered all Thai dessert and tasted very good (some menu we ever ordered twice). Foods are a bit pricy but worth to try all. You can come to celebrate special occation as well. Menus might bw changed from different seasonality. So better check with staff before booking. Besides, you will see the sign with 2 dogs owned by the hotel that might accommodate you roundtrip (if you prefer not to see them, can inform the reception staff).

Long Dtai by David Thompson is a must-visit restaurant, offering an unforgettable dining experience. I am fortunate to be spending my holiday at Cape Fahn in Samui, where we will enjoy dinner at this acclaimed establishment. Long Dtai's cuisine emphasizes local ingredients to create extraordinary, authentic southern Thai dishes. Featured in the Michelin Guide, the restaurant guarantees a delectable dining experience. My favorite dishes from the menu include: - **Aromatic Beef Skewers with Cumin and Turmeric:** The beef is incredibly juicy, and the aroma of fresh Thai herbs is delightful. 480 baht - **Coconut and Turmeric Curry with Blue Swimmer Crab:** Typically a favorite of mine, this dish here is exceptional, with incredibly fresh crab. 980 baht - **Palm Sugar Dumplings in Coconut Cream (Dessert):** Easy to eat, with the perfect sweetness from the palm sugar. 270 baht The restaurant operates from 18:00 to 21:30. If you arrive early, you can visit the bar, open from 17:00 to 22:00. Please note that the restaurant is closed every Wednesday. Guests from outside the hotel are welcome, but it is advisable to make a reservation in advance. Additionally, allow extra time for the hotel's transit boat to reach the restaurant. If it's not the rainy season, I recommend sitting outside to enjoy the island view. Overall, I believe this restaurant is likely to receive a Michelin award next year, thanks to its impressive flavors, ambiance, and service. Thank you for providing me with such wonderful memories.
