    Our favorite too. We lived on Soi 102 for 6 weeks in March/April 2024 and had many meals there. I think we actually met there once, or maybe near the old couple selling fruit. Well, the restaurant offers a lot of great Thai-food, but their Fish & Chips is also great!

    Love your videos. We've watched them for weeks getting ready for our first trip to Hua Hin and Thailand. Tonight we went to this restaurant. What you ordered looked so good we ordered the same. Fried papaya salad, cashew chicken, spicy shrimp soup and added an order of fried squid. Oh my this was the best food ever! Amazing! Add two bottles of water, a Coke and a large bottle of Leo beer to the order. We are here for another 2 weeks and we will be back there several more times. To top that off the entire bill for everything was only 540 bht or $14.80 US. You both rock. Hope to run into you and say hi while we're here. Wayne & Jayme

    English name Gi-Yang = bbq chicken SomTum=papaya salad Jae Pueng=her name Jae= nice way to call female who is older than you. So if don’t know her name and she look older than you, you can call her Are-Jae. Jae is actually a Chinese dialect for older sister. Pueng = bee. But don’t call her “bee” she will not like that. Just call her Jae Pueng or Are-Pueng. Restaurant name is Gi-Yang Som-Tum Jae-Pueng

    I worked with a Thai in Abu Dhabi who leased a beach on one of the islands in the South. He boasted that no Thai would eat in his restaurant because it was designed for foreigner's taste. I suspect that it was only half of the story, the prices were also designed for foreigner's pockets! I am not an expert on prices because like most farang I don't much care what the food costs which is what makes us such good customers. If you plan to stay, learning to read Thai will solve pronunciation problems because the English phonetics depend on it.
