Nestled near Kamala Beach, Sweet Dreams is great when you want a break from typical Thai Cuisine - and it's a relaxed and cool environment with great prices to boot.
The food:
While Sweet Dreams of course offers traditional Thai food, they also have a good variety, ranging from Italian (mostly pastas) to American (hamburgers, grilled cheese, etc.) - and their menu offered some tempting options that seem to combine a handful of options. And note that seafood seems to be their specialty!
The environment:
With live tropical plants, bamboo construction, and tree vines all around, it's the exact scene that so many restaurants back home (United States) try to replicate - only here it's the real deal. Important to note: no AC anywhere in the restaurant, only fans. This is the biggest reason for 4 out of 5 stars.
The pricing:
Everything but a handful of exquisite entrees were in the 100 - 400 BHT range (about $3 - $12 USD). Much better than what you'll find in the hotels/resorts.
