Phensiri Thai Restaurant

Phensiri Thai Restaurant serves home-style Thai cooking on the beach road in South Chaweng. It is a casual, mid-range place where shorts and a T-shirt are perfectly fine, and it works equally well for a long lunch or an evening meal.

The kitchen cooks Thai food with its full flavour rather than a softened version for visitors, so it helps to say how much heat you want: mai pet for no chilli, pet nit noi for a little, or pet mak for Thai-hot.

Evenings fill up quickly, especially in high season, and arriving before 7pm usually avoids a wait. The restaurant is open every day from noon until 10pm.
