"LONG DTAI"
COCKTAIL SERIE
(Taking the trip South)
Chalong’s Long Dtai cocktail series was inspired by a trip to the South of Thailand. Chef Nate Limwong, Surat Thani native, growing up in Thailand and surrounded herself with various exotic tropical fruits and ingredients, she has learned to skillfully and masterfully pair the flavors of the food with the drink. Together with Cici Pratamon; Chalong’s beverage director, they beautifully created the Chalong’s Long Dtai. Chalong’s Long Dtai cocktail series is not only just cocktails but it is also a story telling in itself. The names and ingredients of the cocktails were inspired by stories and tales of the South of Thailand; the pirates of Tarutao (Satun), the pearl of the Andaman (Phuket), the first evergrown rambutan tree in Thailand (Surat Thani), one of the best dive sites in the world Similan (Phang Nga), the bay made famous by Leonardo DiCaprio movie”The Beach” (Krabi) and more. At Chalong we believe in elevating your dining experience with authentic taste of Southern Thai culinary, extraordinary drinks and ethereal atmosphere. Chalong: Let Us Celebrate with You.
