I am with sck. Tamarine is ok at best. You have my longer thoughts on the other thread.
Thai in san carlos is issarn garden. Style is northern. If you have been haunted by the taste of northern sausages like you get at the open air market in chang mai, they make their own as issarn garden, and have place of pride at top of the specalties section. Only order from the issarn part of the menu. The gang om (?) Soup is also something special.
