Dao Thai — Restaurant in Panajachel

Maybe this is considered not bad Thai food for Guatemala. It's definitely not great. The reviews are incredibly generous so maybe I came with too high expectations.

Would be considered meh-to-bad in places with good Thai food food. I got the Penang Curry with chicken for Q60. Came with good amount of meat and veggies. Food came incredibly fast though.

I came in with a water bottle and they told me I couldn't drink it. I was the only person in the restaurant the entire time. Midway through the meal, I said I was going to drink my water outside and then the waitress said I could drink at my table but then the cook later said I...

Omg this place is amazing. Thai food is a favorite of mine, it is often a go to. But even the best I have had tastes like all the others.

Hands down the best Thai food I have ever had in my entire life. And hands down the best restaurant in Pana. We have been here for 6 weeks so far and have eaten at Dao Thai at least 10 times. Twice so far this week and it is only Thursday. I have ordered almost everything on the menu and each item was better than the last. Soups are great. Portions are huge and so flavorful. Their picante sauce is incredible. The whole menu is very reasonably priced. Best deal in town. Just writing this review is making me hungry for Thai food again 🤔 hmmm, maybe cashew chicken...
