Thai Me Up Pang: Our Story

Thai Me Up Pang is where a deep passion for food meets the warmest Thai hospitality. We believe that great dining should feel personal, special, and truly unforgettable.

Our story began in 2010 as Pang’s Kitchen, a small eatery dedicated to serving classic North Eastern (Isan) and Laotian dishes. Our founder, Pang, learned these authentic recipes from her beloved grandfather at a very young age. Her unwavering dedication and talent have been the heart and soul of our kitchen ever since.

The New Chapter in Ao Nang

Reborn during the pandemic as Thai Me Up Pang, we are humbled to now be recognized as one of the most popular restaurants in Ao Nang. While our roots remain in authentic Thai cuisine, we now use that culinary expertise to explore new horizons, creating a menu that beautifully blends Thai favourites with international flavours.

Every dish we create is a testament to Pang's talent and the simple power of great food. We are dedicated to making every visit special—whether it’s a casual dinner, a fun night out with friends, or a family celebration, you are always welcome at our table.
