A day mixed with relaxing, exploring and production. We ate at Dang Thai Food before dropping off our laundry - which tasted amazing! Definitely recommend. We then hung out at our hostel Happy Backpacker until we were picked up for our tour to Tham Lod Cave. I was surprised for how impressive this cave was. We did not know when signing up how big it would be. We stopped along the way home for suns...

Reviews Summary

Dang Thai Food is celebrated for its exceptionally tasty and authentic Thai cuisine, offered at remarkably affordable prices. While the service may not be overly effusive, diners consistently praise the delicious food, generous portions, and accommodating dietary options, making it a beloved spot for locals and travelers alike.

"Dang Thai Food is one of those spots you just have to experience for yourself. The food is absolutely outstanding—easily some of the best Massaman curry I’ve ever had. While the service isn’t overly warm, the incredible flavors more than make up for it. Plus, the prices are fair, and the smoothies are a total win—delicious and super affordable. A laid-back gem that delivers where it counts!"

"This is where locals eat. Really good freshly made pad thai, spicy stir fry chicken/beef with curry sauce (yes, it was spicy, but good), red curry was good but could use a little more coconut milk. Quick service. Reasonably priced."

"It’s definitely not the biggest, well-placed restaurant but the food is great and very reasonable priced. The selection is small but every dish I tried in my now three visits was great.
The staff isn’t very attentive and you will often have to got to the counter to pay or order, but that’s fine for me."

Close to Walking Street, at Dang Thai; you’ll find an unassuming Thai restaurant with dishes for THB 40. Unlike Joy’s Place, don’t expect overly friendly hospitality here, but delish food is guaranteed. The owners act like they couldn’t care less about you, but it’s their style, and I find it quite funny, to be honest.

My favorite spots to grab Thai grub were: the night market, OM Garden Cafe, and, my local hidden gem, Dang Thai Food.
