Pink Orchid Restaurant — Restaurant in Surat Thani Province

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – A True Taste of Thailand

Had an incredible dinner here that felt like a warm welcome into a Thai home. The flavors were rich, fresh, and perfectly balanced—spicy, tangy, sweet, and savory all in harmony. Every dish tasted like it was made with care and tradition, from the fragrant Tom Yum soup to the perfectly stir-fried morning glory and the tender green curry.

The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed, with the aroma of fresh herbs and spices drifting from the kitchen. The staff were kind and attentive, happy to explain dishes and adjust spice levels to taste. Prices were fair for the quality and portions, and it all felt genuinely local rather than touristy.

If you’re looking for a meal along Lamai that captures the heart of Thai cooking, this is the place. I left full, happy, and already planning...

My wife and I returned so far three times, so I guess we like the place. 😎

The Pad Kaprao (with pork) is highly recommended! (For the lovers of spicy food)👍🏻 Also, the Mango Sticky Rice and the Coconut Ice Cream are very good. 👍🏻 The Pork With Kale dish is tasty but needs much more meat in it to qualify as a recommended dish. Same for the Cashew Chicken. The Orange Juice was once very good and once not so good, so maybe it's better to ask the waiters if the oranges are freshly squizzed or from a plastic bottle. 🫢 The cappuccino needs some improvement in the matter of taste.

The service is good. The waitress was nice and smiling and the food didn't take much time to arrive.

The atmosphere is okay. The addition of the fragrance incense is appreciable. 🙏🏻 The place is not on the main street and...

This is a great place with good traditional thai food at a reasonable price.

I stayed at Lamai Beach for 7 nights with my partner. We went to Pink Orchid multiple times for lunch and dinner. It was conveniently close and just an awesome restaurant.

The food here is much better than the nearby restaurant Koh Kaew. The flavors are deep and satisfying. The service is perfect and food is prepared very quickly. Loads of vegetarian and even some vegan options. Prices around 120 thb for a curry with rice. I recommend the panaeng curry with tofu, so delicious 😋

It is a typical small restaurant on the side of the road. Fans and shade for all of the seating. For a small family-run business of this kind, it doesn't get much better. I hope to come back...
