Bars and Restaurants in Thong Nai Pan

(Updated Febraury 2011)

There are plenty of bars and restaurants on both beaches in Thong Nai Pan. In Thong Nai Pan Noi and Thong Nai Pan Yai villages you can find cheaper food than in the big resorts. Most menus include such Thai standards as green curry and pad thai and such western favorites as burgers and fries.

Notable exceptions to the 'standard menu' are: Havana Resort (Indian food), Luna Lounge (fusion), Better than Sex (Burmese) and Bamboo (Laos food). Wherever you are staying you're never far away from a cold beer, a spicy bowl of curry or a fresh fruit shake.

Since nearly all bungalows operations serve food and drink the links on the left focus more on small businesses which don't provide accommodation.

To give you an idea of the prices for items there's a random list of prices below the links on the left. Prices for food and drink in Thong Nai Pan have been going up over the last few years, more so than the national average. In the long run this will no doubt benefit the private villa rental market in the area, especially since Tesco Lotus now has a branch in Thongsala.

While there is plenty for vegans and vegetarians to eat, it must be stressed that beach cuisine is not safe for those with nut allergies. For those who like seafood there is a great selection of fresh fish to try. Red snapper, white snapper, shark, king prawns and tuna are all delicious especially when barbequed. It's normally possible to find a barbeque every night of the week on both beaches.

There are a few shops selling food and drink, but for the cheapest prices it is necessary to go to the main town, Tongsala.

1 US dollar is roughly 30 baht and 1 UK pound is 50 baht.
