Pranee's Kitchen

Pranee's Kitchen is a family-run Thai restaurant in Mae Haad, the ferry village on Koh Tao, that has been cooking for travellers and locals for over 30 years. Diners sit in an open-air pavilion with cushions and wooden tables, a short walk from the pier.

The menu covers Thai classics such as massaman curry, pad thai and sweet and sour chicken with rice, plus a few Western dishes including pizza. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are clearly marked, and the open kitchen is kept clean and busy.

Prices are affordable and service is quick. The restaurant is open daily from breakfast until late evening, which suits anyone waiting for a boat or arriving on an early ferry.
