Mama's

Any recent, recommendations, especially any Thai as my GF is Thai and she usually defaults to that. She's from Surin so likes to stay out of the sun, not a swimmer, and boats can be a little scary for her, so I'll have to figure out some non-beach activites besides the timeshare presentation. Your upcountry suggestion seemed to fit in well here. I know, should probably just have taken her to Phuket.
Mama's is GREAT and will equal or exceed a preconceived conception of the ambiance and look of the ultimate Hawaiian restaurant. How ever, it is not reasonable with entree prices around $40 plus. Well worth it! Reservations should be made well in advance.
