Traditional southern Thai cuisine is not so easy to find in Koh Tao.
The best place to eat authentic Thai Food there is probably Lung Pae restaurant. The kind of place that needs to be recommanded to find it. First, you’ll need a good motorbike cause it’s located up in the hills. Second, you’ll need to like local (which means spicy) food as they don’t cook shitty burgers and fries there.

The first reward when you get there is the breathtaking view on the south side of the island.

The salad you’ll never forget: lamb shoulder, mango, avocado and grilled asparagus.

Look at this closely. They called it Royal and Traditional Pad Thai..
The kind of things that makes me think that Thai food is one of the best on the planet.
Noodles, eggs, soja, shrimps, vegetables, tofu, peanuts and of course, the majestic king prawn as the cherry on the cake. A must !
