Long Island Resort - Food & Beverage

The Thai food is prepared using the finest ingredients and made Thai style with no compromises made for Western palates. If you want watered down Thai food then this is not the place for you. Saying that we can tone down the spiciness of some dishes for those who cannot eat spicy hot food.
Talay Tai has an extensive menu with many local delicacies and hard to find dishes. We also have a nightly seafood barbecue with freshly caught fish and shellfish.
A large variety of vegetarian dishes are available and anyone with special dietary needs may contact our restaurant manager.
We try to use organic or hydroponics' vegetables wherever possible and do not use M.S.G or any other additives when preparing our food. This is the real deal!
Talay Tai beachside bar has an extensive range of cocktails, spirits and World wines. An eclectic wine list is complemented by a cocktail list devised by cocktail maestro Dick Bradsell (Pharmacy, Freds, Dicks Bar at the Atlantic, 1997 in Hong Kong and lots more).
We also have a bar near the spa area which opens at 8:00pm and is set amidst dramatic rocks and surrounded by lush tropical fauna.
Our bar was voted one of the "Top 50 Bars In the World" by The Independent and has the most extensive cocktail list on Koh Samui. Come in and try a Long Island Iced Tea or something more exotic!
