| Tonsai Bay
is a bustling and colourful place at most
times of day. But when the sun sinks into
the Andaman Sea and the lights go up along
the coastline there is a tangible sense
of magic in the air. Tonsai Seafood is right
in the heart of all this fairylike seaside
sorcery and, like a fairy’s magic wand,
the restaurant glistens and glitters with
bright lights. Read

Mama’s
restaurant has been open for some 20 years
now and this has got to be some sort of
a record for Phi Phi Island. And if not,
it should be. Owner, Angelo Rasami from
Tours in France, has been in Thailand for
21 years and he’s managed to make his
eatery one of the most popular and reputable
around.

| If anyone could
explain just exactly what it is that makes
a successful restaurant they’d be able
to retire a very rich person after writing
a book about the magical ingredients. Some
go for atmosphere, but if you want atmosphere
without great food you may as well stay
at home, right? No, it’s definitely
a combination of atmosphere, décor,
fine dining and location. Ficus, in The
Sarojin, has all of these ingredients and
more. Read more... |

| The name sounds
modest enough – after all, how many
bamboo-and-thatch seaside restaurants are
there in Thailand? It’s only when you
wind your way through the sumptuous grounds
of the resort towards the beach that you
suspect that this evening is going to be
a special one. Bamboo Beach Bar and Seafood
Grill is located right on the beach and
the ‘tharump’ of the incoming
waves hitting the strand is never far away. Read more... |

If you’re a seafood aficionado and find yourself in Ao Nang you’re in for a pleasant surprise. Almost every restaurant in the area sells spanking fresh shrimp, crab, squid, sea bass, red snapper and much, much more but perhaps the Big Daddy of all Ao Nang seafood restaurants is Lae Lay Grill just to the north of Ao Nang.

| Krabi Town may not be known for its culinary inventiveness but it does have a few Aces up its sleeve, one of which is Takola, a chic eatery on the outskirts of the town. Takola is a relative newcomer to Krabi’s dining scene and while it trades tradition for trendiness and old-fashioned charm for chic it still delivers great Thai and Chinese food the way it should be prepared.

It seems incongruous
that people should come all the way to Thailand
and eat Indian food. But when Thai cuisine
is thrown in as well then it's a completely
different ball game. Malati in the Sheraton
Krabi Resort features just this combination.

Italian is
one of the most-loved cuisines in the world.
In various permutations you can score pasta
or pizza from Rome to Rotherham to Rio.
Still, it's certainly not a given that just
because a resort has an Italian food outlet
the dishes will be as good as downtown Venice;
quite the opposite, in fact.

| The role of concept in dining out is more important than a lot of people realise. Promoting a restaurant as a 'tranquil oasis of peacefulness' when it's kerbside, downtown isn't the best of ideas but when a restaurant gets its concept right the wow factor really kicks in. Such a restaurant is View Phangan in the Melati Beach Resort & Spa. Beachside, fantastic views, gentle sea breezes and stunning décor – View Phangan has all of these factors and knows how to make the best of them. Read more... |

Heading down through the grounds of Baan Haad Ngam boutique resort, the closer we get to the sea the more attractive things become. Taking an al fresco table by the infinity pool in Olivio, the resort's restaurant, it's striking just how beautiful this little spot is.
The far-reaching vista out over Chaweng Bay is framed by palms swaying in the warm evening breeze while one by one, the first stars of the night appear in the sky like silver flecks on indigo velvet. Read more... |
