I was strolling along, after watching the sunset at the beach, when I stumbled upon this hidden gem. I was immediately greeted outside as I perused the menu and invited in, sandy feet and in my sarong. The atmosphere is modern and chic mixed with cozy and flair. You could tell that there were some regulars inside enjoying their meal too and others popped in and were greeted like old friends. There were positive sayings scrolled on the surrounding walls and a beautiful hand painted mural greeted you as you walked in the door.

I chose the papaya salad and green apple smoothie. I thought the tartness of the green apple would complement the sweet heat of the papaya salad and I was correct! Before my salad was served, I was brought these snacky fried sticks that had a little bit of a spicy flavor and they were delicious! Then he brought me a tempura battered eggplant (I’m plant based so this was an unexpected treat). Both snacks were welcomed and delicious. The papaya salad was loaded with flavor and lots of crushed peanuts too to give it that extra boost of protein and my green apple smoothie had just the right balance of sweet and tart. Once I was finished with my salad, I was brought fresh watermelon! This place takes service to their customers to the next level and very out of the ordinary in Thailand. I was still munching on my watermelon when I was offered complimentary coconut ice cream! At this point I was getting pretty full but I managed to have a few delicious bites of the creamy dessert. I left PJ’s full and happy!

I was not searching for a place to have dinner but I am so grateful that I passed by PJ’s and decided to give it a try! I will definitely be back to try other dishes!
