Eating gluten free in Ao Nang
Thongyib Thongyod Brunch & Cafe is a realistic gluten-free option in Ao Nang because so much Thai food already is: curries, stir-fries and tom yum built on rice, coconut milk and curry paste rather than wheat. We're inside Ao Nang Landmark, open daily 8:00–18:00, rated 4.7★ by 990+ guests — but read the honesty note below before you order, especially if you're coeliac.

The honest part: we are one kitchen
We are not a certified gluten-free restaurant, and we won't pretend to be. Everything comes out of one kitchen — the same one that bakes with artisan sourdough and flips pancakes — so we can't rule out traces of wheat, and some sauces in Thai cooking can contain gluten.
What we can do is talk. If you're avoiding gluten by choice, the dishes below are the natural picks. If you're coeliac, tell the team when you order — say "coeliac" or "no gluten, allergy" — and they'll walk you through what's safest that day. That conversation matters more than any list on a web page.

How to order
Making it easy on yourself
The simplest gluten-free meal here is also one of the best things we make: a curry or stir-fry over steamed rice (30฿), a cold-pressed juice, and fruit to finish. Our most popular Thai dish, Pad Kra Pao, starts at 129฿ — the full Thai list is on the Thai food page, and everything with prices is on the menu.

Quick answers
Is there gluten free food in Ao Nang?
Yes — at Thongyib Thongyod Brunch & Cafe, much of the Thai menu is naturally gluten-free: green and panang curries, tom yum, tom kha and stir-fries served on steamed rice. The cafe is inside Ao Nang Landmark and open daily 8:00–18:00.
Is Thongyib Thongyod a certified gluten-free restaurant?
No. Thongyib Thongyod runs one shared kitchen that also works with sourdough and flour, so cross-contact can't be fully ruled out. Guests avoiding gluten by choice have plenty of options; coeliac guests should speak with the team before ordering.
Which Thai dishes are naturally gluten free?
The classics built on rice, coconut milk and curry paste: chicken green curry (169฿), panang curry (169฿), tom kha kai (199฿), tom yum kung (249฿) and kra pao stir-fries from 129฿, all at Thongyib Thongyod with steamed rice at 30฿. Always ask the team to confirm sauces for your specific order.
Can coeliacs eat safely at Thongyib Thongyod?
Tell the team you're coeliac when you order and they'll go through the safest options with you that day. We're honest about the limits: Thongyib Thongyod is one kitchen, not a certified gluten-free one, so the conversation at the counter is an essential step, not a formality.
Does Thongyib Thongyod have gluten free bread?
No — our toasts and sandwiches use artisan sourdough from a local baker, which is wheat. Gluten-free guests at Thongyib Thongyod usually go the other way instead: Thai dishes on rice, salads, smoothie bowls and cold-pressed juices.
