Koh Samui, Thailand – Conrad Koh Samui unveils AOW THAI, a new dining concept where sustainability meets soul, and each meal is a celebration of Thailand's rich culinary heritage. Set on the island's serene southern cape, the restaurant features indoor and outdoor seating with sweeping views over the tranquil Aow Thai, Gulf of Thailand.

From sunrise to sunset, AOW THAI offers a grounded yet elevated experience. Mornings begin with a vibrant international breakfast, while evenings showcase authentic Thai dinners that honor local ingredients and age-old recipes. Sourced directly from the resort's Iris Farm, the menu follows a farm-to-table philosophy that connects each dish to the land and the stories behind it.

Designed in harmony with its ethos of conscious living and local connection, AOW THAI's interiors pair traditional Thai elements with a modern coastal spirit. Natural textures, soft curves, and handcrafted details create a warm, organic ambiance where architecture, culture, and cuisine flow seamlessly together.

At the helm is Executive Sous Chef Rose, who draws from her Southern roots and family traditions to craft a culinary journey that is both personal and proudly Thai.

“At AOW THAI, we don't just serve food, we share stories,” says Chef Rose. “Every ingredient is chosen with care, every recipe passed down with pride. I want guests to feel the warmth of a Thai home and the richness of our culture in every bite.”

Signature evenings such as Moo Kra Ta (Thai-style BBQ) and Jim Jum (Thai hot pot) celebrate Thailand's communal dining culture, bringing friends and families together, featuring local seafood, wagyu beef, and seasonal produce paired with house-made sauces, live cooking, and entertainment.

AOW THAI also embraces regional Thai diversity, from the spice-forward flavors of the South to the herbaceous cuisine of the Central Plains. Every dish is complemented by Thailand's beloved rice varieties, including Khao Suay (steamed jasmine), Khao Klong (local brown), and Khao Ob Anchan (butterfly pea flower rice), offering both visual beauty and cultural depth.
