As the sun sets on the horizon and you take a gentle stroll down the main street of the island, you will find a wide variety of very good restaurants, many of which are located directly on the beach. Dress is informal unless you are eating in a hotel restaurant.

There is fresh seafood on display for your selection, including tiger prawns, oysters, mussels, and even shark. You will also find many other types of international foods, including pizzas and steaks.

On the roadside, street vendors sell everything from pancakes to fried bananas and sandwiches, so if you prefer you can simply buy something here and sit on the beach under the stars.


A very useful phrase... If you don't like spicy food, you can say "Mai Pet" (which means "not spicy") If you don't use this phrase, you may be served local Thai style, which in southern Thailand, means very hot!!!
