Traditional Thai Cuisine “Baan Boran, serving the best authentic Thai dishes on the island.”
Baan Boran is located in an Ayudhaya style building, in the heart of Chaweng Beach.The traditional wooden building is the perfect place to enjoy a romantic dinner for two or a family gathering. The internationally renowned chef Ian Kittichai oversees the menu and has put together a wide range of Thai fare, some dishes with a modern twist.
The food is served in an imaginative way with an emphasis upon presentation as well as taste. Try the Gai Hor Bai Toey – marinated chicken wrapped in pandan leaves served with sesame sauce for a delicious starter. Move on then to the Yam Woon Sen – vermicelli noodle salad with minced chicken, peanuts and preserved chili vinaigrette. You quickly realize that a lot of thought
has gone into making the menu items interesting and creative, providing something special you are unlikely to get in many other Thai restaurants on the island. Moving on to main courses, pan-seared soft shell crab with garlic and pepper sauce is destined to stimulate all your senses, not just your taste buds. Meanwhile, pineapple braised short ribs in green curry with Thai eggplant and sweet basil should not be missed and the crispy
whole fish with yellow curry sauce is absolutely superb. For dessert, indulge in Banana spring rolls, or the jasmine flan with sweet and sour fruit salad on jasmine rice. Highly distinctive, extremely tasty but at the same time pleasantly healthy.
Baan Boran continues the theme of offering a traditional Thai experience by providing twice nightly puppet shows. The shows are led by a troupe of traditional Thai puppeteers and the synchronized gestures are elegantly performed in conjunction with a medley of different stories from lively Thai folk dance songs. A special set menu is offered, carefully planned to fit around the puppet show. So if you want to experience traditional Thai food and entertainment at the same time, in elegant surroudings with an emphasis on quality, make your way to Baan Boran and remember to take your camera.
