Forever Restaurant — Restaurant in Satun Province

If you came to Thailand for the food, this is a must-visit for local flavors. The restaurant itself is not pretty or fancy, but the food is amazing. I don't love pumpkin squash or Indian-style curries, but I tried the pumpkin and coconut curry based on reviews and it was phenomenal (curry was similar to a green curry, and pumpkin was so good - vegetarian dish). We also had the tomato salad, cucumber salad (great mixed together), and my husband tried the fermented mustard (which was stir fried picked mustard greens - vegetarian dish). If you're staying at Decho Beach, The Cliff, or Pitiusas Beach, the restaurant is only a few steps away and is a MUST visit. They have a spice rack to spice things up if you want more, and items came decently spicy. Limited beverage selection - a couple of beers, but you're there for the food! Service was on island time, so don't expect it to be quick, but the quality and freshness of the food is so worth the wait. Super cheap - the absolute best value...

This is a real nice an authentic Thai restaurant. There are not too many dishes on the menu, but you will find something if you like Thai food. The staff (we believe they're wife and husband) is super friendly and the food is prepared fresh for you. So your patience will be rewarded with a delicious meal. We've been here twice and had "Punkpkin + Coconut Curry", "Pork Curry" (1st picture), "Chicken Curry" and "fried fermented mustard" (2nd picture). We ordered "medium spicy" and it was perfect. At least if you like it hot. ;) Quality is better than expected for this price (compared to restaurants at the walking street). A dish can be from 120 Baht up to 220 Baht. My wife and I definitely recommend this place! So don't be afraid to get away from the Walking street and walk some distance passing Sunset beach - and you will find this gem. In any case, there is a resort close by, where you can...

We ordered three dishes, Pad Thai, aubergine curry and green mango salad for lunch at around 3pm. My thoughts:

The ingredients were fresh but the dishes were mediocre and rely a lot on ready made seasoning. They lacked the vibrancy of Thai flavour which we are used to. Aubergine curry is more like stewed aubergine in a msg broth while the sauce for the green papaya salad is mainly based on mayo and sesame seeds.

Considering it was 3pm and there were only 2 tables in front of us, it took a surprising one hour for the the food as the owner was cooking, taking order and serving all by himself.

vegetarian main is around 100thb while meat main is around 120thb.

My honest feedback is that as much as I like the friendly and laidback owner, but I think the long walk and the wait were not worth the food. I tried other local places in Koh Lipe with the same price tag and I must say I was...
