The Perfect End to a Beach Day

After a long day in the sun β€” swimming, snorkelling, or just relaxing on the sand β€” there is nothing better than sitting down to a proper seafood dinner as the sun begins to set.

What to Look For in an Evening Restaurant

  • Fresh catch β€” ask if they received a delivery that day
  • Outdoor seating β€” the warm evening air is part of the experience
  • A full drinks menu β€” cold beer or cocktails after a beach day are non-negotiable
  • Flexible spice levels β€” essential if you are dining with mixed groups

The Best Dishes After a Beach Day

Mixed Seafood Platter

Perfect for sharing after a day together. Crab, prawns, fish and squid β€” grilled or steamed, your choice. It covers everything in one order and is ideal for groups.

Tom Yum Goong

A hot and sour prawn soup that wakes the senses. Surprisingly light despite its bold flavour, it works as a starter before a main seafood dish.

Cold Beer Pairing

Singha or Chang β€” both are brewed to pair with Thai food. A cold beer after a beach day followed by fresh grilled seafood is one of life's simpler joys.

We are only a short walk from Ao Nang beach. Reserve your table so it is ready when you arrive β€” evenings fill up quickly during the high season.
