ถึงพะงัน Dear Phangan
About This Spot
Stepping into ถึงพะงัน Dear Phangan is like finding a quiet oasis amid the rhythmic pulse of Ko Pha-ngan. Nestled within a charming garden softly lit by fairy lights, this intimate space unfolds gently, inviting you to slow down and savor the moment. The warm glow from a traditional Thai wooden house sets a mood that’s both cozy and unpretentious, a place where the pace of life harmonizes with the island’s natural rhythm.
Here, dining feels less like a formal event and more like being welcomed into a friend’s home. The air carries hints of fresh herbs and smoky char, promising something thoughtfully prepared yet effortlessly enjoyable. As the evening deepens, the sense of quiet joy grows—a shared experience between guests and the small team behind the scenes, who care deeply about each detail.
The menu is a journey through local flavors with an inspired touch. Seasonal catches and the freshest ingredients are crafted into dishes that delight the eye as much as the palate—salads tinged with tropical sweetness, seafood cooked with a delicate balance of tradition and creativity, and drinks that feel lovingly made from local roots. Each bite and sip reflects respect for the island’s bounty and the hands that prepare it.
Beyond the food, there’s a genuine intimacy to the setting, a calming sanctuary where conversations flow naturally and moments linger. This is not a place of rush or spectacle but of connection—to place, to people, and to the simple pleasure of a meal savored slowly.

Such a lovely experience! The restaurant has a wonderfully homey and cozy atmosphere. The food is not only delicious but also beautifully plated — very photogenic! We really enjoyed the vibe in the evening. Great taste and great setting.

Best restaurant on Phangan to try delicious Thai seafood with a twist. Elevated food from the typical Thai eatery. Every dish was delicious and beautifully served. Even the cocktails were amazing and carefully crafted with local or Thai ingredients. You can feel that there's a team behind it who understand what they do and do what they love. We came here twice in a week and I'm happy to support such a creative space. I will definitely come back.

Been here three times, and incredible every time. The ingredients are so fresh and perfectly cooked. The atmosphere is amazing..a beautiful traditional Thai wooden house. And the owners give us such a warm welcome. It truly feels like you’re dining at a friend’s home. Highly recommended!

AMAZING! MUST GO! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is such a special place - truly a hidden gem. A light spot on a dark road. Nestled in a cute little garden with fairy lights, is an intimate restaurant. Reservation only. We were two of only 14 dinner guests that night. Three groups there total. Menu is set by the kitchen based on seasonal ingredients and catches of the day, so it's a lovely surprise! About 800 baht per person and totally worth it. Started with the house cocktail - Passion Maree (rum and passionfruit - yum!). The crab and water chestnut crab cakes wrapped in bean curd were AMAZING. The mangosteen and prawn salad was INSANE. The grilled fish in banana leaf was tasty and the fried Mexican kale was delicious. Squid with the ink was funky and sooo tender and delicious! Sagot to end was warm and lovely. Each dish is made and served with care. The owner speaks perfect English (he is Thai) and explained each dish and the origin of all the ingredients, most local or from a region in Thailand. There were mosquitoes but a fan, repellent and even an electric racket are provided! It was such a beautiful dining experience and I highly recommend it to anyone going through Koh Phangan!!!

We travel a lot and love to find special restaurants. This place is in many ways extraordinary: the setting, the preparation of the food to the way it’s run… it’s done with great care and love for the art of cooking and hosting. If you enjoy seafood, you have to stop by if you’re on Koh Phangan. Since everything is prepared by a small team fresh, you have to let them know in advance your party size and wheb you’re coming, but we went here here twice because we wanted to experience it again on our trip. The food is the most authentic yet special Thai food we have had. And it’s all prepared with local ingredients. I don’t know what else to say except that you should try it yourself.

It was delicious, really recommend it. The Michelin award was well deserved! The dishes had such an unique taste, thank you! They had a very sweet well behaved dog at the terrace, the ambience was calm and you have to reserve in advance to ensure there are spots ready.

What a truly special evening! A magical place that enchants not only with its atmosphere but with the love poured into every detail. The kitchen is outstanding – guided by two wonderful people and a lovely team who clearly do what they love. Each dish was a culinary delight, full of heart, creativity, and perfectly balanced flavors. As a guest, you can truly feel the passion behind it all – in the food, the service, and the unique ambiance of the place. We wholeheartedly recommend it – visiting this little gem should be a must! Thank you so much, Chanan & team, for such an unforgettable evening!
