PHUKET'S ULTIMATE THAI DINING EXPERIENCE

Takieng means 'lantern' in Thai, referring to the local fishermen's daily routine of taking the long tail boat with their fishing nets and lanterns to catch fish at night to avoid the heat from the day's sun.

Takieng serves authentic local dishes and Southern Thai cuisine that are hard to find elsewhere. It is the place to experience traditional Thai dishes and flavors prepared with locally sourced ingredients, some of which are hyper-locally sourced, such as mole crabs and Lin Harn leaves that can be found exclusively on Mai Khao beach.

We ordered soft shell crab, lobster in choo chee sauce and chicken in pandan leaf, all of which were outstanding! We were also very impressed with the service staff who were very attentive and polite. We noticed that we only had to make eye contact for the staff to come immediately over to see if we needed anything! Overall, we had a wonderful experience at Takieng, and would highly recommend having dinner there!

When at mai Khao beach, this Thai restaurant is a must visit. With exceptional sunset views and wonderful service from the staff (thanks Pu and Koy!), we've had a wonderful time dining here on multiple occasions. The Thai food is also delicious, clean and well presented. Try the pomelo salad, spring rolls, sea bass and mango sticky rice!
