The Thai kitchen in itself has become one of the country’s biggest exports and naturally nothing can compare to the genuine thing! Why not sample a bowl of Tom Yam Goong (spicy prawn soup), or perhaps the Gaeng Phed Yang (roast duck in red curry) is more to your liking? Many restaurants in the resort towns such as Patong, will have a mix of Thai and ‘western’ food. Chinese dishes are readily available at the many restaurants in the resorts and there are a fair number of Indian and Arabic places catering to those particular types of cuisine.
Night Food Market
For simple, freshly cooked Thai food, a good place to go is the Night Food Market on Rat-U-Thit. It’s out in the open and offers plenty of choice. Look at each menu to see what appeals to you! The ‘sales’ team on the street will all tempt you into their restaurant, but perhaps it’s best to look at each one and go back to the one you like. Fish is the main ingredient at the market.
Aloha Villa
Aloha Villa is a hotel and restaurant on the Rat-U-Thit road. It is a very clean and well-run establishment serving Thai, Western, and Chinese food.
MollyMalones
Molly Malones is a typical re-created Irish Pub. Comfy sofas and Guinness make this a favourite for those westerners wanting a break from rice and noodles or for anyone looking for traditional English/Irish food.
