Mama's Chicken - Railay Beach, Ao Nang

By far the best restaurant quality/ price that I’ve tried in all Thailand. 100% recommended!!

Very hospitable and the reviews were right; the best chicken burger I have ever had. You’ll also be supporting a family business that has sadly lost revenue due to a large resort building a wall to separate them from the village. You can get there easily by walking down the Ton Sai Resort path (you’ll the massage place/grocery store etc) keep walking and you’ll see the signs for Mamas. I would go in the daytime or take a torch at night. So worth it.

Mama’s fried chicken burger is great. I always visit here when I’m in Krabi. The trail leading to the venue makes you think you are making a mistake, but you won’t regret it! And their kitten is too damn cute.

It is worth the short walk into the village for this. The resort and cafes along the way have all closed due to covid. They are the only surviving one in this village. I ordered the chicken burger that many talked about. It is 2 thin breaded patties in a burger with a light crisp. It is chicken breast meat but super tender and juicy. They have different sauces and mayo to go with the burger too! Definitely one of the best chicken burgers I have had. Did a time lapse video of the making. Their papaya salad is also really good. Somehow all the ingredients are soft and absorbed the sauce really well. Very flavourful in each bite. Ordered their banana shake too. Good balance of milk and fruit. Different those that I have tried. They also have small takeaway packs like fried chicken sticky rice, banana sticky rice etc that climbers come and buy as take away for the day. I saw a 70+ year old Caucasian lady with 2 walking sticks to support herself walked in for breakfast. She must be living here for a long while and this is a regular routine.

You have to visit Mamas chicken when coming to Tonsai Beach. There is a huge selection of food for a cheap price and its all very delicious. The staff is increadibly friendly. I enjoyed my stay at mamas chicken and would always come again
