Bouw & Tong — Restaurant in Ranong Province

This was a lovely meal. Our selection meant that we most likely didn't have their best offering, which is why it wasn't the best on the island + though it certainly wasn't bad at all, hence the rating. We ordered the onion tempura (which is basically just onion rings but in less batter, something that I welcome) and the chicken salad, which I personally didn't enjoy as it had a bad after taste and aroma and I couldn't put my finger on it. My wife loved it though so this is just me. Since the tempura wasn't huge, I ended up ordering a vegetable fried rice which was absolutely lovely. The drinks were lovely too - I believe I ordered mixed fruit juice but I don't remember now, I did observe that they bring in their ice fresh, which puts me at ease. The staff were really lovely so we're incredibly glad to have come here. Next time we'll likely order something else...

Some dishes were a hit and some were just okay.

Their pad gra pao was delicious and my partner even said it was one of the best they’ve had. Make sure to order a fried egg as well as it does not already come with one. The Tom yum was really good too, and I really enjoyed sipping on the broth. All the drinks I got here were great, their mixed fruit smoothie, thai iced tea, and other smoothies.

Their mango sticky rice was okay, the rice wasn’t a good texture/consistency and I thought the mango to rice ratio was pretty off.

I would not recommend their pad thai - it was a little...

A great place to eat here in Koh Phayam. Delicious 100% local and traditional food, in a very cozy and nice atmosphere, and very faire prices.
