Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.

Why go, and how to do it well
Perched among the greenery of Koh Tao, Thipwimarn Farm & Cafe offers a refreshing escape from the island's busier beach strips. The farm-to-table concept sets it apart from typical tourist dining spots, with a menu rooted in fresh, locally grown produce served in a naturally shaded outdoor environment that feels genuinely peaceful and unhurried.
Visitors can expect a laid-back atmosphere with plenty of greenery, making it a popular stop for those looking to slow down and enjoy a relaxed meal or coffee away from the crowds. The cafe draws a loyal following among both locals and travelers, and the mid-range pricing makes it an accessible option without sacrificing quality. The open-air setting and farm surroundings give it a distinct character that stands out on an island otherwise dominated by dive shops and beach bars.
The cafe is open seven days a week from 09:30 to 18:00, so it suits breakfast through to a late lunch rather than an evening meal. Visitors heading up to Thipwimarn should note that Koh Tao's roads can be steep and narrow, so those renting a scooter should take care on the approach. Arriving earlier in the day is a good idea on weekends, as the relaxed setting tends to draw a crowd.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
