This translates to:

"The flow of water from Khao Yai to Lam Ta Khong"

A Riverside Retreat with Self-Service Charm

Nestled amidst the pristine waters of a mountain stream, Paa Taan Nam offers a unique dining experience. This charming establishment, run by a friendly husband-and-wife team, invites guests to immerse themselves in the tranquility of nature while enjoying delicious home-cooked meals.

The restaurant's unique appeal lies in its self-service system. Due to the limited staff, guests are encouraged to participate in the preparation process by collecting their own utensils, plates, and glasses. This interactive approach fosters a sense of community and allows guests to connect with the dedicated chef, Auntie Beer.

Auntie Beer, the sole chef and a vibrant personality, welcomes guests with her infectious enthusiasm. She provides clear instructions on the self-service system and allows guests to choose their preferred seating. Once the food is ready, Auntie Beer calls out to the guests, inviting them to collect their meals from the kitchen and enjoy them at their chosen tables.

Paa Taan Nam's self-service approach may seem unconventional, but it adds to the charm of the experience. Auntie Beer's warm hospitality and the opportunity to participate in the preparation process create a memorable and engaging dining experience.

At first glance, walking along the stream, I felt it was truly worthwhile. I never knew Khao Yai had something like this. And I can't even imagine the taste of the food that is about to come. If I get to sit and eat delicious food (the deliciousness here is based on the guarantees of those who have eaten here before), how amazing it will be.

The stream here is truly crystal clear, so clear that you can see the fish swimming around.

We chose to sit at a corner table near the large water wheel, which operates tirelessly. We sat there, watching it turn lazily while dipping our feet in the water. Our minds were clear, and the greenery in front of us was a feast for both our eyes and our souls.


There are also rules here that prohibit bringing food and drinks. (It's better to eat Auntie Beer's cooking.) If you only want to play in the water, the fee is 100 baht per person.

Activities at Pa Ton Nam include paddle boating, swimming (life jackets are provided), camping, and dining. If you come in a large group, it will be a lot of fun.








The adorable puppy excitedly greeted us as soon as the car arrived.

While waiting for the food we ordered, we took a leisurely stroll and snapped some photos. The surroundings were incredibly lush, and the water was crystal clear.

Everything here requires advance booking, whether it's accommodation or food.
You can call Auntie Beer directly at 081-8015962.

When we called to book in advance, we informed her of the day and time we would be coming to eat. Auntie Beer would then recommend the menu and let us order our food in advance so that she could prepare the ingredients for cooking.


The natural atmosphere is excellent, but the taste of the food is even better.

This place offers a variety of signature dishes, but the must-try dish is the "Bitter Snail Curry." The curry paste is made by Aunt Beer herself, and the taste is incredibly spicy.

In addition to the spicy stir-fried bitter snails, we also ordered "Korat stir-fried noodles." When in Korat, you have to try Korat stir-fried noodles, right?
The Korat stir-fried noodles here "use Takhu noodles, Pak Chong flag, chewy and soft noodles, famous only in Korat."

The last menu item, "Minced Pork Omelette," is highly recommended by Auntie Beer. She said that it should be ordered to be eaten with the Spicy Snail Curry because the Spicy Snail Curry is very spicy and needs an omelette to help reduce the spiciness. This simple yet extraordinary dish, when paired with the Spicy Snail Curry, is truly a perfect combination.

After eating, follow the rules that Auntie Beer told us at the beginning, which is to collect our plates, spoons, and glasses and put them on a tray and place them in front of the kitchen. That's it.
