4.6 / 5.0(1,550 reviews)
One of the best authentic Thai restaurants I’ve been to in Krabi. The restaurant is set in verdant lush greenery and foliage with dining pavilions built with bamboo. Simply fascinating and creative to blend in with the surrounding landscape. Food was as authentic as Thai food should be. My favourite was the salad ‘Yampak Ghood’ which is fern sprigs with prawns, pomelo, cashew nuts and boiled egg is a tangy lime and coconut dressing. So good! Will come again when I’m back in Krabi! This place was great. Food was fantastic, service was amazing and atmosphere was super cool. It was also very affordable. We ordered short ribs, panang, pad kra pao, tom yum, crab fried rice and 2 drinks and the total came to 1300 Thai Baht or $40 USD. We left with full stomachs and leftovers of everything we ordered. A sweet family was celebrating the birthday of their mother and delivered a small cake to all the tables around them, including us so that was very kind and thoughtful too. Great place for dinner. I would definitely recommend this place. The real deal southern Thai food! Super spicy as requested 🔥 Lovely and fresh. Great service! A little more expensive but worth the treat for quality and comfort! 💯

We sought out this restaurant from an online recommendation & we’re so happy we did. It was a short 5 minute Grab ride from Krabi town. Pleasant & friendly staff greeted us to this relaxing, cool, open air, green, rustic outdoorsy space We started with the deep fried prawn cakes with plum sauce & the spicy edible fern salad with pomelo, the freshest prawns, egg, cashews & coconut & lime dressing The effect was a flavour explosion for the taste buds. Absolutely delicious The dishes came out a little too fast for us to keep up but nonetheless we followed on with crab fried rice, deep fried local chicken, so tasty & crispy & the butter fish, again deep fried & crispy but in a sauce of lemongrass, chilli, young ginger, shrimp paste etc etc I would happily eat here everyday if I could just to try all the exquisite dishes on the lengthy menu. I read reviews which said it’s expensive & it possibly is a bit for Thailand but the quality is definitely apparent With a beer for him & a refreshing cool ginger drink our bill was the equivalent of $60aud For us a bargain for such an outstanding & special meal
