Dinner time with some (beautiful) light reading. Literally. Enjoying a Thai Iced Tea with a hot bowl of Plaa Todd as we browse through the gorgeous photos of “Trembling Earth” by David Walter Banks.

Somehow fried catfish curry tastes even better paired with these mesmerizing photos of the Okefenokee Swamp in Georgia.

This beauty hits a bit harder, though, knowing places like this are threatened to be destroyed. The Clean Water Act is currently under attack, and public comments to defend it end TONIGHT Oct 9th. Follow the link in our bio to speak up in protecting wetlands across the nation.

Thanks for your support. See you at dinner?!

LUNCH! Did you know we’re open for lunch Tuesday through Friday 11am-2:30pm? Well now you know 🤌🏽

Our Lunch offers a limited menu with a few items not available on our Dinner menu, like our Kra Paw! Kra Paw features minced pork or tofu with basil, chili, and garlic served with a fried egg and jasmine rice.
🌶️
Lunch is take-out or patio seating only. Sorry, but no dogs allowed on the patio. Or tigers, or bears, oh my!

Although you might get lucky and see our friend Mango do a fly by or two during your meal!

Did you know that wetlands across the U.S. are currently threatened to lose what little protections they already have?

Public comments to defend the Clean Water Act close tonight Oct 9th. Help speak up via link in bio ✌🏽

Brunch AND a workshop at Dalaya Thai!? Yes you resd that right! Don’t miss this unique experience cohosted with our friends Caravan Art Bazaar who will walk us through the creation of floral lanterns used in the annual Thai celebration known as Loy Krathong.

Chef Gun has a three course meal for us to enjoy after the workshop segment is over, and all guests are welcome to take their lanterns home after the meal!
🌀
Even though Loy Krathong is celebrated on the 24th this year, we wanted to get a head start since flowers and banana plants will be harder to come by that late in the year.
🌶️
Don’t miss this rare opportunity to dive into your artistic side while enjoying the flavors of northern Thailand ✌🏽
