## Editorial notes

The Pavilion is The Datai Langkawi’s elevated Thai restaurant set on stilts above the rainforest canopy at Datai Bay. Evening service focuses on Thai cuisine in an open-air pavilion atmosphere, complementary to neighbouring Gulai House and Beach Club dining on the same estate.

## Thai flavours above the canopy

### An elevated evening pavilion for Thai cuisine on The Datai estate.

The Pavilion is built for atmosphere as much as food: stilts lift the dining room into the canopy so evening service feels suspended in the rainforest.

Like other Datai restaurants, expect reservation-led access, resort dress expectations and a quieter device etiquette.

Choose The Pavilion when you want Thai rather than Malay gulai, then combine with a Datai Bay stay or a planned drive-in dinner.

## Key highlights

- **Canopy pavilion:** Open-air Thai dining elevated above the rainforest rather than beachfront.
- **Evening service:** Official hours 18:30–23:00 — book as a destination dinner.
- **Estate dining circuit:** Sits beside Gulai House, The Dining Room and Beach Club options on the same resort.
