Why Travelers Love The Thai
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
What an incredible place! The food was a feast for the eyes and pallet. We tried 4 dishes between two (as recommended as the portions are generous) and each was bursting with flavour as well as visually stunning. The customer service was spot on - personable, made you feel special, but without being overbearing. Our server, April, also captured some lovely photo’s and of us from the outside seating area. A very memorable meal and one of our best during our stay in Koh Samui. Highly recommend! What an unforgettable dining experience! From the moment we sat down, April, our server, set the tone with her kindness, humor, and genuine hospitality. We enjoyed Thai tapas that were not only creative but bursting with flavor. The setting was just as impressive—seamlessly blending indoors and outdoors with a beautiful, cool ambiance. The drinks were the perfect touch to round out the evening. This restaurant is more than just a place to eat—it’s an experience worth savoring. She recommended some many tasty dishes it was hard to choice. The Thai tacos are a must!! I really don't know how to start the review, but I'll start it by giving them 10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So I'll start with the fact that the flavors of the art go beyond all limits. Crazy flavors. Exciting flavors. Really special flavors. There's not much to add about the taste. Just taste it. The service is exceptional. Amazing service. Reliable service. They don't let you order unnecessary things. The products really suit you. The colors and quantity are all really delicious and special. Come and eat three Michelin stars. 🌟🌟🌟

The Thai Tapas is a restaurant located on one of the main streets of Koh Samui's Fisherman Village. The menu offers typical Thai dishes, but revisited in tapas format. When ordering we were warned that there would be a bit of a wait for the kitchen as the place was fully booked. All dishes are accompanied by a bowl of coloured rice. At the end of dinner we were full and so we did not have any dessert, but there was an interesting proposal. The dishes are tasty and well presented.

What a wonderful discovery in Koh Samui! 🌴 The Thai Tapas combines charming décor with a light and welcoming atmosphere. Each dish is a small work of art — beautiful, colorful, and full of flavor. And the best part? The contagious friendliness of the staff, always smiling and genuinely kind. A place that makes you want to come back again and again!
