This is a late review. Visited twice, once in 2006 and once in 2010. Both experiences were great. First experience was quite funny as we hadn't been to Thailand and I ordered the Tom Yum seafood soup, wow it blew my mind, so hot and spicy and I mean hot. I am used to Thai food now so I am... More

Just a short walk down the beach from the Pimalai, it offer an amazing beach ut atmosphere and possibly one of the best green curry we had. Make sure to take a torch to navigate the beach back and check out the crabs running around at night time

a little bit pricey compared to all the other super places around the areas. Enjoyed coming there for lunch and shakes during the day more than in the evening for dinner. It is still worth a visit as it is a really nice place to hang out!

Right on the beach, and great food (appetizers with the raw fish were great). The restaurant even sent someone to pick us up one day because it was raining.
