How to Enjoy Seafood Without Too Much Spice

Spice-Free Seafood Is More Common Than You Think

Many visitors assume that all Thai food is spicy. The reality is that most good seafood restaurants in Ao Nang are very experienced at preparing mild or no-spicy versions of their dishes — especially for international tourists.

Dishes That Are Naturally No-Spicy

• Salt-Baked Barramundi — pure sea salt, no chili at all
• Baked Crab with Cheese — creamy, herb-flavoured, no heat
• Lobster Thermidor — French-style, rich mustard cream sauce
• Crab Fried Rice — can be made completely no-spicy

Dishes That Are Easy to Make Mild

Almost every Thai seafood dish can be adjusted:

• Grilled Tiger Prawns — ask for no-spicy marinade
• Steamed Mud Crab — garlic butter sauce has no chili
• Pad Thai — chili flakes served separately on the side

How to Order With Confidence

Simply tell your waiter: "No spicy, please" or "Mild only". Good restaurants will confirm this with the kitchen.

"Spice is an option, not a requirement. Thai hospitality means cooking to your preference."
