Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

The walk is what makes it special. This place is about ten minutes from Ao Nang's main street, far enough away to escape the noise and pushy vendors. Those who make the trip often return a second time during the same holiday. That speaks volumes.

Start your meal with Tod Man Khao Pod (corn cakes) or roti with peanut sauce. For main courses, the Pad Kra Pao Moo and cashew chicken are always highly recommended, and the green curry and Pad Thai are also excellent choices. The kitchen is happy to adjust the spiciness to your liking, so don't be afraid to work up a sweat. The desserts are absolutely divine, especially the fried banana cakes and the mango sticky rice. The Thai milk tea is served with a flower. You'll be seated outside under plants; the wooden furniture is more artful than functional, and insect repellent is provided on the tables – you'll need it!
