So let me get this out of the way, I'm not used to staying in luxury resorts so staying in the Rayavadee in Krabi is a one off for us.
A lot of you have asked me to review some more upmarket restaurants so you can treat yourselves to something special on your holiday to Thailand so I needed to find somewhere that was more than a restaurant. The Krua Pha Nang is it in my opinion.
The Rayavadee is the only 5 star resort on Railay Beach and it boasts some pretty impressive looking restaurants. Will the food stand up to the price here? let's find out!
So we tried the set menu which is 1500 THB PP ++ making it 1755 THB with tax - £41 / $50
It's a lot more than my usual Thai street food recommendations but for the amount of seafood we got and the quality the Thai dishes, I actually left feeling like we'd got a bargain!
We got menu 1:
APPETIZER
เบือทอด
Deep-fried prawns with chrysanthemum leaves
SALAD
ยำเป็ดกรอบ
Crispy duck shreds tossed
with spicy green mango salad
SOUP
ต้มยำทะเลน้ำข้นมะพร้าวอ่อน
Andaman seafood in hot and sour soup, fresh herbs
and lime juice served in coconut shell
MAIN DISHES
แกะผัดพริกแกงใต้
Dry lamb curry, vegetables and Thai aromatics
ผัดผักเหมียงกับไข่
Wok-fried Gnemon leaves with egg
glass noodles and oyster sauce
ข้าวออร์แกนิค
Jasmine, rice berry, Sangyod, sticky rice
DESSERT
ข้าวเหนียวมะม่วง
Sweet sticky rice spring roll, fresh mango
mango espuma, mango sorbet
and coconut coulis
In my opinion, for what it's worth, this is the best Thai food on Railay Beach. Of course there are cheaper options around but in my experience, Railay doesn't have great food in general so I'd rather pay the extra and be happy!
Let me know whether you are going to try the set menu!

My name’s Gary and I’ve been living in Bangkok for the past five plus years and travelling Thailand for over ten. I’m obsessed with Thai street food and it’s that obsession that led me to start this RU-vid channel. I want to share my favourite hidden spots in Bangkok and the rest of Thailand so you can fall in love with authentic, local Thai food as much as I have!
I’ve never understood travelling to a town or city and not eating the local food. How else do you really connect with a place? Let’s get out and explore together and I guarantee you’ll find a whole different side to this wonderful country.
If you love seeing off the beaten path, non-touristy, local life and authentic local life in Bangkok and Thailand then this is the channel for you. If go go bars on the Sukhumvit Road are more your thing (I’m not judging) then maybe not!
