Where can I get the best thai food (original cooking, not for tourists) on Koh Chang?

Best thai food on Koh Chang?

Everyone will have their own ideas but here are three very different places that might fit the bill:

Somtan shop, Whitesands - Located just south of KCTV on the sloping road leading south out of out Whitesands. It has a name but I can%26#39;t remember it off the top of my head and there%26#39;s no sign in English anyway. Not much of a menu in English either. But it%26#39;s easy enough to order Somtam ( spicy papaya salad) and sticky rice and point to chicken or pork on the BBQ. The somtam is the best you%26#39;ll find and they do very nice BBQ marinated pork in sesame seeds %26#39; Moo Det Diaow%26#39;. Really good. Always gets full of Thais from Bangkok at the weekends and high season.

P%26#39; Nid%26#39;s Restaurant, Kai Bae - No signs in English, other than one that saya %26#39;Thai Food 25 baht%26#39;. This is the place to go for 25 - 30 baht meals. They have a menu in a kind of English but if you know your Thai food they%26#39;ll make pretty much anything you want. Staff and owner, who%26#39;s from Koh Chang, don%26#39;t speak much English but you wont care when you eat the food. We%26#39;ve been going there for over 3 years and have yet to have a bad meal. Located about 50 metres south of the northernmost 7-11 but on the opposite side of the road. Look for the phone booth roadside, which is in front of the restaurant.

Pak Pao Noodles, Kai Bae - Midway between the two 7-elevens, near LaLuna guesthouse. A standalone building set back from the road with plenty of parking. Khun Anne, the middle-aged owner speaks excellent English and attracts Thai in droves with a franchise for noodles from the north of Thailand. The secret is in the way the meat is prepared and the spiciness of the chilies ( much hotter than those used in regular Thai food ). But they can make it milder. On the face of it all they sell is variations on this one type of pork noodle soup. But they do have other food and regular Thai food as well.

A small place called Sangtean ( I think..) on the left roadside heading south from Klong prao, about a kilometer after Klong Prao beach resort. Filled with locals, no other tourists than us (last month) and the food was all cooked from scratch... but well worth the wait. Seems to be just husband and wife chopping and cooking in great harmony. Stop off there and enjoy... and it will only cost you a few euro!

Thanks so much to both of you! I will these place out!! :o)

cheers..

I knew the name Sangtean rang a bell - but only just realised why. It%26#39;s the nearest cheap place to eat to my house - heading south it%26#39;s just past the tunring to KP Huts %26amp; Panviman Resort but on the opposite side of the road. You wont see the name in English from outside - it%26#39;s on the wall inside above the kitchen area. There%26#39;s a small minimart right next door, if you pass the temple you%26#39;ve gone too far. Good, cheap food here and like Zzook said, very popular with Thais which is a good sign.
