Why go, and how to do it well
Peang Prai serves southern Thai food beside a lagoon deep in the forest behind Bang Pae Waterfall, in the Thalang district.
The Telegraph calls the cooking rich, aromatic and full of bold flavors, and notes that mangosteens grow in the garden and turn up in the salad and the ice cream. Phuket 101 points to stir-fried sator beans with shrimp, spicy herbal fish soup and deep-fried fish with turmeric. Reviewers also rate the mangosteen fish curry and mention gibbons and birdsong in the trees around the dining room.

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.
