3) Bang Pae Seafood 

When there are so many positive reviews raving about this place, it ought to be good! Bang Pae is known to have a laid-back atmosphere and gorgeous views of the mangrove swamp. The restaurant’s location is a little bit out of the way for most tourists, but it’s high on the list of avid foodies’. When you are here, don’t forget to try their tom yam talay and deep-fried squid with garlic and pepper.  

4) After Beach Bar 

After Beach Bar is the place to be if you are looking to celebrate a special occasion. The restaurant has a deck extending out from the hill, giving you uninterrupted views of the west coast. While you can dine there throughout the day, it’s best to visit just before sunset, so you will be graced with a magnificent show from the sky. After a delectable dinner, an ice-cold beer or cocktail is in order. 

5) Kin Dee 

Small and cosy, Kin Dee only has a total of 12 dining tables. While it’s not a venue for large groups, it’s definitely a great choice if you are looking for an intimate meal. The restaurant looks out to the mangrove swamp and offers an extensive menu with around 50 dishes. You will find some of the tastiest Thai food here. If you are not a fan of spicy food but love the flavor combination of Thai cuisines, rest assured that the chef can adjust the spicy level to suit your palate.
