Tips for a Better Visit

Showing 2 of 6

Reserve ahead. Book before arriving, especially for celebrations or a preferred terrace table; one reviewer specifically advised making a reservation.

Confirm boat. Ask when booking whether the Abra is operating for your visit, since boat access was reportedly restricted for some weekday guests.

The Bottom Line

Pai Thai is a Thai restaurant in Al Sufouh where the arrival is part of the evening: depending on availability, you reach the resort restaurant by Abra boat or buggy through the waterways. It suits date nights, birthdays and anniversaries, with a terrace, greenery and evening lights that reviewers often describe as calm and romantic. The menu has plenty to explore.

Diners mention the Thai green chicken curry, Massaman curry, Pad Thai, dumplings, Tom Yum and mango sticky rice, while the 5 Taste of Thailand menu is a practical way to sample several courses. Portions are often described as generous, and vegetarian and vegan diners report thoughtful choices, including a separate vegan menu. There is also a cooking experience with a Chef Amara masterclass.

Book ahead, particularly if you want an outdoor table or are celebrating. Confirm the boat service rather than assuming it is included; one guest found weekday availability unclear. A 4–6 PM reservation was suggested for sunset, though outdoor seating can mean flies or warm weather.

Reviews are mostly strong on food, setting and hospitality, but some diners found the pricing high for the portions, service pacing uneven, and one reported insects in soup alongside a disappointing management response.
