The Saneha verse wall

The verse painted on our dining-room wall

“Saneha” — a heart made full. Flavours from the kitchen tie us together; every dish carries a meaning, one bite stays in the mind — shared with family and friends, from mother, for all time.

Our Story

From the kitchen of someone who loves to cook, to Nan’s living room

Behind every plate at Saneha is Chef “Tik” Thornthan Pathomthananphat, founder and chef-owner, whose joy has always been cooking for family and friends. That joy became this Thai restaurant in the centre of Nan, where Poy looks after every table with warmth. (“Saneha” means affection, or tender love, in Thai.)

A Thai curry is never just ingredients pounded together. It begins with choosing the chillies, herbs and coconuts; then slicing, pounding, the order of each ingredient, frying the curry paste, controlling the fire, and tasting and adjusting, little by little. Every step shapes the flavour.

A single Thai dish holds more stories than we can see — and more value than we think.

Kind words

What our guests say

A new restaurant, and really delicious. Some dishes look simple but they’re anything but. The pomelo salad with gourami — all the stars in the sky.

The food comes from the heart, drawing flavour from the ingredients rather than seasoning — no MSG. There’s a restaurant and a tea room, the sweets are lovely, and the atmosphere is great.
