Khaw Glong Thai

Khaw Glong Thai is a Thai restaurant on Chaweng Beach Road, across from a large shopping mall in central Chaweng. The dining room is cozy, bright and airy, with a relaxed feel that suits couples and groups, and beachwear is fine.

The menu covers classic Thai cooking and seafood: chicken with holy basil, steamed fish with Thai herbs, chicken wrapped in pandan leaves, fried rice, papaya salad, tom yum soup, spring rolls and prawn salad. The chicken satay with peanut sauce is a favourite with regulars. Spice can be set from mild to Thai-hot on request.

The kitchen opens in the early afternoon and closes at 10pm. Chaweng is at its busiest between about 6pm and 8pm, so an earlier table is quieter.
