Thirty years of the same kitchen

Anong cooks. Peter meets you at the door and usually remembers what you ordered last time. Nothing about this place is designed to be discovered on a screen — it was built by two people feeding the same island, year after year.

The room is open to the street under a tin roof, the sign is the one from 1994, and the food is cooked the way Thai people eat it — unless you ask otherwise, in which case Anong will happily cook it your way.

Peter & Anong

Some restaurants are concepts. Anong is two people who never stopped.

Peter came from Bangkok to Samui around thirty-five years ago. In 1994 he and Anong opened a restaurant and he named it after her. Covid closed it. In November 2024 they opened it again, themselves.

The welcome

Described again and again as real Thai cooking rather than a version toned down for visitors.

Bangkok standard

Thai guests and long-term residents compare the kitchen favourably with Bangkok.

Fair prices

Consistently described as honest value for the quality and the portions.

Cooked your way

The kitchen adjusts heat to suit the table, without flattening the dish.
