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.

Why go, and how to do it well

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 travelers, couples and families. If you want a calmer table, aim for mid-morning or mid-afternoon rather than the 7pm crush.

Reviews from Google

We ate at Thai Me Up four times during our stay and were happy every single time. The food is delicious – whether it’s breakfast or dinner – and the staff are outstandingly friendly, warm and welcoming. Their English is good enough to help with questions and special requests, which made everything very easy for us. On our first visit I was looking for something very simple because my stomach was irritated. They kindly made me a rice soup with chicken balls off the menu, and it was so tasty and comforting that I came back the next day to have the exact same dish again. I also had some mashed potatoes on the side, which really helped and made me feel cared for. On our last evening we arrived shortly before closing time and they still prepared a Pad Kra Pao pizza for us, which I really wanted to try once I was feeling better. It was absolutely worth the wait. Every time we were there, they took the time to chat with us and you could see how genuinely happy they were about our positive feedback. Our absolute happy place during this vacation – highly recommended.

During our 9-day stay in Ao Nang, we came to this restaurant every single day! The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, everything is delicious, and the prices are very reasonable. The staff truly made the experience special — exceptionally friendly, warm, and polite. Gift and Kid completely stole our hearts, and we will remember them for a very long time. A must-visit place during your holidays!

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.

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.
