Nanya’s bar & restaurant — Restaurant in Surat Thani Province

Went here 2x. First time was pretty decent but early ~430 and we were the only ones. Waiter was attentive and helpful. Went a 2nd night b/c I really wanted grilled fish which they don't serve before 6. After waiting 40 minutes to get an order of vegetables and what I thought was 100g of 2 different fish (as that is how the menu describes it) out comes an entire red snapper. I love fish and had I known that's how this worked I likely still would have ordered it. But there was no explanation that when you order fish you get the whole thing and what it weighs you pay... I thought I was in for 120 bath of fish and this 1 fish was 350. Imagine my surprise. Esp. when you haven't come with the cash for that. Luckily the error on both parts was realized and they took it back without me paying for it but.

This place has always welcomed us with a very big smile and fast table service. We went there at least 5 times and got out filled with happiness.

I highly recommend these dishes:

-Laab muu (personnal favorite). It is extremely flavorful, light and has a lot of fragrance with the mint, cilantro and green onion. The balance of flavor always impresses me.

-Deep-fried pork with garlic and chili. The crunch of the pork mixed with the sweet and spicy sauce make that dish a very good combination. Not to spicy and very tasty.

-Panang curry. This might be the reason why you travel to Thailand. To eat the best curry and tell about your friends how delicious it was. Well this curry elevates the standard. It has a complex mixture of flavors which makes the curry very delicious.

Overall, this restaurant has a large variety of Thai food but also western food like Chicken Cordon Bleu and several pasta dishes.

To add...

I came here many times on my trip. Delicious food, nice atmosphere. The mango sticky rice is up there with the best on the island, and the mango berry smoothie was fantastic. I love the pineapple fried rice. The massaman curry is pretty good too, though not the best I've had on the island. The chicken satay with peanut sauce is excellent. I especially like that they give you ice with your bottled water--specifically the kind of ice that is shaped like a cylinder with a hole in the middle, which is safe for foreigners. (Most restaurants use regular ice which is risky to drink when it melts if you're from a different part...
