We just ate dinner at the Tin Mine. It was the best meal we have eaten in Thailand. We have just come from koh samui and stayed at amazing 5 star resorts but this buffet was the best for me. Instead of loads of ready made food, there were little stations with a chef at each, freshly cooking what u ordered. There were about 5 different noodle stations with different types - phad Thai, egg noodles, rice noodles with your choice of prawn, chick, beef or squid, all different curries, fresh salad stations chopping it in front of you, excellent green papaya salad! Fresh kebabs on the grill and just a great selection of Thai food. The deserts were very authentic and we loved the sticky rice with mango and deep fried banana as well as the little sorbet sticks. Thai food is one of my favorites and this place is my new favourite. Kids were able to order western food from kids menu.
