Unless you point out that you would prefer less spicy food, Palai will serve your dishes with enough chilies to melt down a nuclear reactor. "Mai pet!" means "Not spicy" and you should use this phrase when ordering.
All the old favourites feature at Palai; tom yam pla (spicy seafood soup), steamed lemon sea bass, seafood salad served with fresh squid and, without being world class, they're good, fresh, and hearty.
Yet Palai doesn't just serve seafood. We also sampled fried chicken with cashew nuts with a mixed salad.

Service
Point to the menu when ordering – the level of spoken English is not exactly Shakespearean at Palai and some of the wait staff look refreshingly new to this game. Nevertheless, we encountered no difficulties and got exactly what we ordered. It is recommended to go there for lunch rather than dinner for a more quiet atmosphere...
