I've wanted to come to Pai for a while now after hearing such rave reviews. Having tried places like Sukho Thai and Khao San Road, I had high expectations since I love Thai food but Pai did not disappoint in the slightest!
We got there a little after 6pm to beat the dinner rush and luckily we did since after we were seated, the line grew two-fold and you can feel the room getting increasingly louder. It definitely has more of a party atmosphere so not the best place if you are someone looking for a quiet dining experience.
But it's fun, lively, and full of personality. They even have a small marketplace in the back where you can get some food items to go and other knick knacks.
We ordered the squash fritter as an app along with their signature pad thai with shrimp and chicken. Everything was absolutely delicious. The pad thai just got better and better with every bite! The quality was definitely the best I've ever tried. All the dishes are jam packed with flavor and left us wanting more. The squash fritter (which they also have at Khao San Road) were so well seasoned, crunchy on the outside and sweet inside. Highly addictive! I recommend checking this place out and coming early to snag a table!
