We have eaten here twice in the last week and everytime the food has been fantastic! It is a small, family ran business, with a lovely atmosphere. It is just off the main road and a little undiscovered, but it is a real hidden gem Our first meal as family of four main courses, 2 drinks and 2 beers was about 650baht, so it is really reasonable price wise. Give it a try - you won’t regret it!

Ate here twice in a week. Very simple local Thai food cooked right before you. The restaurant is literally on the porch of the chef's home. Food is simple but generally flavorful. Special mention for the fried chicken wings - very crispy skin but juicy inside. When I was there, I literally saw the local neighbors popping out of their homes to eat dinner at this place, so you know this is where the locals actually eat at. He's also got a pool table if you're into some beer and hanging out with your friends.

It's a small family business so I don't want to ruin their perfect rating, hence the 5 stars but, contrary to their listed opening hours, this place was closed when we visited. The restaurant was closed as they were having a party. Fair enough, celebrate Songkran with family and friends but please update your opening hours to save us the drive. We're only here for a week so wasting a couple of waking hours is extremely annoying.
