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 KZbin 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!

Nice video! Of course you should be doing places like this alongside the street food. I (and I guess, a large proportion of your audience) visit Thailand as tourists and weirdly, it can be difficult to find great food in upmarket places. This place looks like the bomb mate - would definitely consider booking a nice evening there.

I think reviews of all types - street, small family owned restaurants, nicer places and total upscale are all worth seeing. One of the great aspect of Thailand is there is a large diversity of small - inexpensive to beautiful top of the line places. Often all of this is side by side. Thai fusion foods too. Share that with us.

Reminds me of the one time we were treated to a dinner at whatever was the top five-star restaurant in Bangkok. All the food was exquisite, as were all those you guys ate here, and while this lacks all the excitement and adventure of street food, it's perfect for those special times. The foods and presentations here are similar to what I've read of "royal" recipes from the olden days in the most promoted Thai cookbook by that Aussie chef (lol). Enjoy! I'm not even gonna check out the dollar conversion from 1500 baht.

Last time my wife and I went here there was some kind of riots going on in Bangkok and a general "do not travel" warning was issued. We were almost the only people in Railay. It was an unusual but magical experience, everywhere we ate they kept giving us multiple free dishes because they wanted to use up the food that the restaurants had bought. I virtually rolled out of the place. Great memories.

Hi Gary. Greetings from Australia. Love your Chanel. Any chance of you making a Thailand drinks series. I know you love Thai tea and dislike sweet things but a drink series would be epic as there is not much content on them. If you watch josieliftsthings KZbin a young Aussie lady made one but you do more detailed videos. Butterfly pea drink, salted plum just to name a couple of many many drinks unique to Thailand. Just a suggestion. Either way keep up the great work. I can’t wait till I get back in a couple of months. 🙏

Anyway, good to have a mix of up-market places, but Thai food or southeast-asian food for that matter really is street side. Should you want a list for Manila, let me know, ill throw a few in other than the restaurant i manage ;) Enjoying your channel more and more!

Hey Gary, was this The Grotto at Rayavadee or one of their other restaurants at the resort? If different, how would you compare these two restaurants? Stepping up the production value with the new hand model and camera woman! 😉

This was in the Krua Pranong restaurant and in my opinion, this was much better. The grotto is a barbecue set menu and it was ok. But the grotto is in a cave so the setting is unreal

Great review ... There is always an occasion to do something special or just spoil yourself....I agree @ around $70AUD per person it's great value for high end quality food .... In OZ we would be happy to fork out over $100AUD and not have that great location....save $$$ per year enjoying great value for money street food and spoil yourself in locations like this with the savings?

I don't know how much you earn every month with circa 30,000 subs + views but it can't be easy.... I like restaurant reviews, but it is alot if Capital outlay for you.... So a balance to break up the monotony of just street food, because a lot if your viewers l am sure like to eat in restaurants when they come to Thailand.

Funny to watch how uncomfortable you are there. It's obvious you did it based on requests and that is very thoughtful of you. Also, tells me you know who you are and that you know what you like. Different strokes for different folks. Now, get your ass back to the streets, where the real people live and thrive. No pretending there. Peace out brother.
