Restaurant Reviews By Area
Bangtao Beach is largely dominated by the Laguna Group Complex with its award-winning, excellent, but pricey restaurants. However, if you head towards the Cherng Talay day market from Laguna you’ll come across many eminently worthwhile restaurants. Read More...
Chalong and Rawai differ from other Phuket dining-out destinations in that they are more residential than touristic and therefore cater to regular customers’ needs rather than to walk-in diners. The sea front at Rawai hosts many restaurants, as does the area near Chalong Pier and you’ll find a long list of dining out destinations along Nai Harn’s Soi Sai Yuan. Read More...
Kamala is quite spread out but the area divides roughly up into three comprehensive sections: the main road, centre and southern part. Along the main road and off the side sois there is a fairly wide selection of eateries while Kamala centre specialises in seafood restaurants. Southern Kamala features higher-end dining locations.

Karon is very spread out and to sample all of its dining possibilities you’ll need wheels. Beachside dining can be enjoyed at the very south of Karon Beach and all along the front you can dine with a sea/sunset view at the hotel restaurants. Read More...
Dining out in Kata Beach varies according to area. For basic and cheap fare try Thai Na Road – Kata’s main drag – while top-end dining can be found at the southern end of the beach. The only on-beach dining in Kata can be found at the southern extreme of the beach. Kata Beach has lots of dining-out choices, almost all within strolling distance of each other. Read More...
Patong’s not just about bawdy nightlife. It has the distinction of being southern Thailand’s culinary epicentre and hosts hundreds of restaurants, from high-end, award-winning eateries to laughably cheap street stalls. As befitting an international holiday destination, you will find almost every nationality’s cooking represented here. Read More...
Phuket Town’s got quite a history to it and it’s in the historical old quarter that you will find some of the best restaurants. Generally fitting into the traditional shophouses that are so ubiquitous in the area, the restaurants have intimacy, history and culinary art under one roof. Read More...
Don’t despair if you find yourself away from the South of Thailand’s culinary centre, Phuket. You’ll find several good restaurants dotting the surrounding areas and Samui is a gourmet’s dream destination with award-winning establishments (mostly in resorts) all around the island. Read More...
Surin is home to humble and basic beachside eateries as well as five-star hotel restaurants. The road leading up and past Twinpalms and the Chedi is a good hunting ground when it comes to higher-end dining while those who enjoy fresh seafood in an unpretentious location should try the beachside parking lot – it’s full of ad hoc restaurants.
