3. Spotlight On: Pailin Thai Cafe. Enjoy the beauty of traditional Thai art, the relaxing and pleasing atmosphere, as well as traditional and delicious Thai flavorings. The staff is professional and will do whatever they can to please you. For dinner, try some Thai spring rolls, dumplings, Satay, tempura, or Mee Krob as your appetizers. Select a Tom Yum Kai soup or start with a Thai salad. Then treat yourself to curries or veggie dishes with rice or noodles. Or try a lunch combination if you visit at that time of day.
