Prai Raya

This food is delicious! We got the peanut chilli satay crackers, the yellow crab curry and the local vegetable noodle dish. Staff are very attentive and friendly and the venue is relaxed and air conditioned.

We had a good time at this southern style Thai restaurant. Located in a sprawling villa with spacious interior and designed in local style, it gives a nice, laidback vibe. It used to feature in Michelin guide with Bib Gourmand recognition. Menu is quite big and comprises of all types of food one could ask for. I have to say that portions are substantially bigger than other similar places we have visited over the years. Taste is also very good. Spiciness is reasonable, probably manageable for the most international customers.

Lovely restaurant recommended by our hotel. We all loved the yellow crab curry, Prawn Tom Yum with coconut and Crab with chilli and garlic. Very authentic restaurant full of locals. Friendly staff who don’t speak lots of English but it’s not a problem as they know enough and are so helpful. The crab was delicious in each dish. Lovely cool air conditioned restaurant - well lit and with a busy local feel. We will definitely reckoned to our friends.

A great taste of Phuket cuisine, in the heart of Bangkok! This was the fanciest restaurant we visited in Thailand, and although much more expensive, it was definitely worth it! For what you're getting, It's actually quite cheap compared to European prices. Fish balls, watermelon spicy salad and mango sticky rice, were all amazing! Of course, you should go for a shrimp or lobster dish, too.

Southern Thai food is renowned for its bold flavors and aromatic spices. Dishes like Khangsom Prakapong (Southern style spicy and sour soup with snapper and vegetable) and Numpik Pha Chingchang (Southern spicy dry fish shrimp paste dip served with seasonal vegetables set) offer a fiery kick that is both unique and unforgettable. The use of fresh herbs and local ingredients creates a rich, complex taste profile that is a true reflection of the region's culinary heritage.

If you’re looking for authentic Southern Thai cuisine, Prai Raya is an absolute gem. Housed in a beautifully restored colonial-style building, the restaurant exudes charm and elegance, making it the perfect spot for a memorable dining experience. The food is simply outstanding! Their signature mixed seafood in whole coconut is a must-try—rich, creamy, and packed with bold flavors that define Phuket’s culinary heritage. The crab claw fried rice is another standout, perfectly balanced with a crab meat in yellow curry. For those who love seafood, the stir fried river prawn in garlic with Lime and Chili is incredibly fresh, with a zesty kick that keeps you coming back for more. Beyond the delicious food, the service is top-notch. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and happy to recommend dishes based on your spice tolerance. The overall atmosphere, from the historic setting to the warm hospitality, enhances the dining experience. Overall, Prai Raya offers an unforgettable journey into Southern Thai flavors. Highly recommended!

My second visit here and it didn’t disappoint! Had crab curry, steam pork belly, melinjo leaves stir fried and pineapple baked rice, ended with mango sticky rice. Loved all the dishes the taste was on the light and fragrant side, not too heavily seasoned just the way I like it. The sticky rice has the most amazing taste, the natural and original glutinous taste. Recommended!!

This restaurant is in a large bungalow off on a quiet soi nestled in a gorgeous garden. Prai Raya was a delight, and we all enjoyed the food and finished every morsel. The fried garoupa with mango, the coconut chicken soup, and the chicken cashew was good. The service was excellent.
