A brillant host from the Amanoi service team who is living in Phang Rang was guiding us through the four best foodstands all over the city. She was bringing clean cuttlery and plates from the Aman kitchen for our use, she was asking us about our preferences, recommending and discussing each course. And also showing us around in the city, making us experience and understand live there!

This tour was highly good-tasting, inspiring and knowledgeable. I highly recommend it!

It was absolutely delicious and we truly enjoyed the food and the setting. It was, however, definitely not the style of a normal restaurant. For example there was nowhere to get rid of the bones and shells, you were supposed to just throw it at the floor which was cleaned after the meal. All the locals did and it looked like a complete mess by the end of the meal, but was part of the local experience. Our Aman guide brought drinks and napkins etc. for us so that our meal was a tiny bit more Aman like compared to the restaurant style, but still very very basic, but soooo good an memorable.
Interesting... I don't see the lunch at the local restaurant mentioned in their excursions guide but that does sound quite memorable... the street food tour sounds quite interesting too... how far away was it? I'm just so risk adverse to eating in any place where the hygiene standards are questionable (I know I know).... I had a bad experience in Turkey that really just ended up wrecking the rest of the trip so I want to avoid that....
