Don't expect extremely fast paced service as every dish is cooked to order with heaps of TLC. Usually not crowded (we've never visited during the high season though). Try the fresh young coconut Som Tum, Massaman Curry, and Fried Bananas - don't skip...

And on top of good food, you're supporting locals!

Go there and eat local though. They would serve western food that is ok, but only average. It's a Thai...
