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

Tucked away in the Nai Mueang area of Phimai District, IDA Pub & Restaurant offers a relaxed spot to wind down after a day exploring the nearby Phimai Historical Park and surrounding region. With a mid-range price point and a welcoming pub atmosphere, it caters to both locals and travelers looking for a comfortable evening out without breaking the budget.

Guests can expect a casual, social setting typical of a Thai pub-restaurant, where food and drinks are served in a laid-back environment. The combination of pub and dining makes it a practical choice for those who want a full meal alongside a drink, rather than choosing between the two separately.

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.
