Came here for lunch and found the ambience really nice. Food is a little on the spicy side, but was really good. We especially liked the crab curry and deep fried shrimp with plum sauce. Prawns in tom yum were big and fresh. We also ordered green curry, which was slightly different from what we expected of green curry but was really tasty nonetheless. The watermelon and mango shakes that we ordered also tasted really fresh and sweet.

It is a little pricier than other shops, but it is still worth it as the portions are generous. The service was also really good. Would definitely recommend a visit!

The restaurant was located on a lane approximately 250 meters from the main road. This southern traditional restaurant was a fine dining establishment in such a Thai house environment. There were approximately 5 to 10 parking spaces in front of the entrance. The restaurant's service was highly professional, pleasant, and accurate, with a warm greeting. The food was so delicious and the prices were reasonable. The food was remarkably spicy, but you can specify how spicy you want it to be. If you are in Krabi, Thailand, I would suggest you dine at this restaurant. You would enjoy returning to Krabi.

Wow! Just wow!

This place not only has amazing Thai food, but also provides a wonderful experience! It is my favorite restaurant in Krabi that we have visited so far.

The food:
I ordered the crab meat with coconut milk curry, and it was AMAZING! There was so much crab meat. The contrast between the crab, spicy curry, and sweet coconut milk was incredible. All of their curry dishes are spicy, but the coconut milk ones are less spicy.

My husband ordered one of the southern spicy curry dishes and coconut smoothie. For this curry, you need to like spicy, because it definitely had a kick! He also said the coconut smoothie was excellent.

The servings are large. We could have ordered one curry and two sides of rice, and it would have been more than enough! But we enjoyed getting to try two of the currys.

If you don't like spicy food, there were also several non-spicy food options! We ordered the chicken fried rice for our kids to split, and they enjoyed it.

The experience:
It is eco friendly and they have designed it to minimize the carbon footprint. All of the buildings are made from natural resources - wood, bamboo, grass, etc. It feels like a tropical oasis.

If you are visiting Krabi, I definitely recommend this restaurant! You will not be disappointed!
