THAI ME UP PANG Restaurant and Bar
The staff are the story here. Read enough reviews and you'll spot the same thing again and again: people naming the servers, coming back four times in a week, one couple eating here every day of a nine-day stay. Someone with an upset stomach was made a rice soup with chicken balls that wasn't even on the menu. That kind of thing doesn't happen by accident.
The food backs it up. Soft shell crab yellow curry gets singled out repeatedly, along with green curry with beef, prawn and garlic that arrives loaded with prawns, and pork skewers as a starter. Pad Thai and tom yum are done properly. There's also mango sticky rice, and a burger for anyone in your group who's had enough curry. Breakfast runs too, since the kitchen opens at 8.30. Prices are genuinely budget, so ordering three courses won't sting.
It's a casual spot on Beach Road in Ao Nang, not somewhere you dress up for. Fine for solo travellers, couples and families. If you want a calmer table, aim for mid-morning or mid-afternoon rather than the 7pm crush.

Reviews from Google
The pork skewers were a tasty starter and then loads of prawns in prawn and garlic dish, very nice food. Friend had the burger and it looked great and he said tasted very good.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thai Me Up completely blew me away. We ordered the soft shell crab yellow curry, green curry with beef, and mango sticky rice — every single dish was incredible. The flavors were rich, perfectly balanced, and honestly some of the best Thai food I’ve had. The soft shell crab yellow curry was a standout, and the mango sticky rice was the perfect finish. On top of that, the service was amazing — warm, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. This has officially become my favourite spot in Thailand. I’ll be coming back again and again!
Our favorite restaurant in Ao Nang! Very authentic Thai food with incredible flavors, served by the most peaceful, charming, and friendly staff. The Pad Thai and Tom Yum soup were absolutely delicious. We truly hope your restaurant will still be here when we return to Thailand; we can’t wait to come back!

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
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.
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.
