Baanpai

Delicious simple and casual cuisine in Pai with cold beer and a simple selection of recommended dishes. The Papaya salad is served tidy Thai spicy and is delicious.

Atmosphere is great but the food is rather underwhelming. The fish salad especially was greasy and the portion very small. Dishes are quite pricy compared to the rest of the neighbourhood, and far from being better (not the service faster).

The food was really good but, as a bit of context, when I went there I was with this group of travellers that I met during the day and we went for dinner together. One of them happened to be very annoying and spoiled person. And he was impolite with the restaurant staff. Nevertheless, the food they gave us was really spicy and the manager said it was not spicy. Another problem was that the price of the dish was 60 baht at the menu, but when I was paying, the manager said it was a different one and he insisted in charging me 100 baht. To not create problems, I paid and left. But I will not be returning. Bad experience in general.

The restaurant is large, spacious, near the bus stop. I waited for the bus for two hours. I'm ready to pay for a mobile phone charger and laptop, but they gave it to me for free. Very impressed. A single court about 60-70 Baht. I think the price is right for the quality you should pay because I eat street food cheaper 5-10 baht.

The Thai food is great. My favorite was the chili paste on shrimp and squid. However the coffee is surprisingly great and better than most cafe in Pai.
