What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Nong Nung Restaurant Thai Food is a beloved local spot praised for its authentic, delicious, and incredibly affordable Thai cuisine. Diners rave about the generous portions, especially the Pad Thai, and the warm, family-run atmosphere. While some found specific dishes like the sweet and sour a bit bland, the overwhelming sentiment is of high satisfaction and a strong desire to return.
"I HIGHLY recommend going here for food! One of the only places in town where you can still find delicious thai foods for as cheap as 40 baht. And the pad Thai servings are really generous and incredibly tasty.
I tried the sweet and sour (tofu version) another day and found it a bit bland and boring, lacking pineapples to add sweetness.
But I would come back here every day for the pad Thai. The guy working here is also super kind and accomodating."

"Amazing little local place in Pai. The food was delicious, cheap, and freshly prepared to order. I enjoyed watching the lovely ladies prepare all the delicious food. The papaya salad was fab and so fresh. Definitely get away from the tourist traps and eat at this fantastic local spot."

"Wow! Such a great local place with amazing food and traditional dishes.
We ordered green curry, papaya salad and stir fried chicken with basil.
The food was fresh, the owner was so sweet and the prices are much lower than any other restaurant around.
I definitely recommend you to try, nice to see tourists and locals eating together in Pai ❤️"
