Maitai Restaurant — Restaurant in Surat Thani Province

This review is solely about the food and not abot the location or ambiance of the restaurant. Yes this place is next to the main street with a lot of traffic and rather basic but I had some delicious food in places like that. We love authentic thai food and even cook it at home ocassionally.

The gang panang was a firm favourite.

I'd highly recommend for a cosy environment and...

What an amazing little family-owned spot in Samui (Lamai Beach)! Everything is clean, flavorful, and FRESH made-to-order, we even saw them grab some fresh ingredients off of a mobile vegetable stand that was driving by. We ordered the fried fish (pla tod), tom yum goong, morning glory (pad pak boong), grilled beef salad (yum neua), and pork panang curry (gang panang moo)…they’ve got wine, beer, and cocktails as well…highly recommended, we will...
