Pad Thai Chaiya

Story

Beyond Pad Thai: Discover the Creamy Secret of Chaiya
"Forget everything you know about Pad Thai. In the ancient town of Chaiya, Surat Thani, we’ve been doing things differently for over a century.
Unlike the typical street food version fried in oil, our 'Pad Thai Chaiya' is slow-cooked in a rich, secret coconut milk reduction. This traditional technique creates a luscious, creamy texture and a depth of flavor you won't find anywhere else in Thailand.
Experience the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and a hint of Southern Thai spice, topped with fresh river prawns. It’s not just a meal; it’s a taste of our history.

''Only here in Surat Thani."
