Having tried the food here on several occasions and being unimpressed, the final straw was a visit where we ordered the vegetable no-name (being vegetarian) and the added surprise was a shrimp no-name on the plate. Sadly, this was the same occasion that we found a finger nail in our lemon shake... standards are lowered when you're abroad, but this... More

Found this place after being recommended by the owner of our guest house. Once we went there we never ate anywhere else. Had the best thai food in the whole of Thailand and for such good value, especially when you expect prices to be higher because its on a small island. Also great for the budget traveller as they put... More

I've eaten at pranee's quite a few times now and I'm never disappointed with the food or the prices. On Koh Tao even some of the most basic dishes cost 30-80b more than what you'd pay anywhere else. Pranee's has a large menu with some if the best prices I've seen at an actual sit down restaurant on the island.... More

The food was excellent - we went to dinner here a few times and it was consistently top notch!! The prices were extremely good, considering the quality and quantity of food. We would highly recommend this restaurant.

Pranee's is a busy thai style restaurant just metres from the beach. It serves a large menu of thai style dishes that are not usually too spicy for the western palette. The food here is very good, but the service can be slow and sometimes lack a smile or two, bare with them, the food is worth it.

Great little family owned joint in Mae Head. The service can be slow at times, but the food quality and price make up for it. It was my favorite cheap eats place on the island.

Great food, best prices on the Island. You can eat here everyday if you're on a tight budget. Authentic, quick and very tasty. Don't let the disinterested waiting staff put you off. They serve quickly albeit unfriendly. tip: curries are very saucy but superb, order enough rice.
