Street food stalls

After a week in Chiang Mai (where amazing and affordable Thai food is literally around every corner) this has been the only spot in Ao Nang where we’ve truly enjoyed our meals. I’m specifically talking about the stall in the back right, with the large green menu (pictured). The lady running it is incredibly sweet, and her food is full of flavor at a great price. I believe her daughter works up front, she speaks good English and is just as lovely. Once we discovered this place, we went back multiple times. We tried the khao soi, Thai basil chicken with egg, cashew stir-fried chicken, mango sticky rice, and red curry paste fried chicken—all absolutely delicious. Yes, the main dining area is a little crazy and hot, but for 150–170 THB per incredible meal, it’s totally worth it. Definitely check this place out if you’re in Ao Nang!

Amazing “street” food of the same or better quality than many restaurants we ate at. We went for roti and mango shakes every day at the front stall. They were amazing every time. Sometimes we have found vendors use more ice than mango but hers were so mango. We also had Thai dishes as well at the vendor 2 down from the front. The pineapple fried rice in a pineapple was one of the best we have eaten in Thailand. One day we did take out and it even included the pineapple. We went early in the day one day and watched them preparing. Everything made from fresh ingredients. And the service was also wonderful! Don’t miss this stop!

We randomly chose one of the stalls and kept returning several times to it as it was absolutely delicious. Tom kha gai, mango sticky rice, chicken cashew nuts was our top choice.
