The best Thai restaurants Gulf Of Thailand - West Coast

Definitely one of the best restaurants on the island. Here the emphasis is on fish and seafood specialities, cooked in the Thai way or simply grilled. The local products are fresh, the preparation and cooking of the dishes, carefully presented, are perfect. Open kitchen. The setting is charming, with subdued lights and wooden furniture. We dine here with our feet in the sand. Courteous and professional service. Remember to book in high season.

This small establishment on the sidewalk of the promenade, with plastic chairs, is frequented by the locals, and for good reason: the food is excellent. Fish, shellfish, seafood, you can take a look at the well-stocked display before making your choice. The dishes are made to order for Thai palates, so don't forget to specify "phet nit noi" if you don't want it to be too spicy! A treat. They also serve cold beer, to be enjoyed while admiring the view of the bay.

True Thai traditional cuisine, in the middle of nature with a swimming pool. You can eat there on tables well isolated from one another, under wooden Thai salas. Djai, the chef, has more than 30 years of experience and prepares an authentic cuisine for you. The portions are generous and at affordable prices. The specialties: Thai soups (tom yam), curries, steamed fish, crab, ice-cream fritter. At choice, a very wide choice on the menu, and moreover, 2 tasting menus. The menu is translated into French.

This Franco-Thai bar-restaurant, run by Philippe and his wife Nic, is located at the eastern end of Thong Krut beach, almost on the point. Superb view on Koh Tan and pleasant decoration. Choice of French and Thai dishes at affordable prices and an equally interesting selection of wines imported from France. For those nostalgic for beef bourguignon, snails... You've come to the right place! Its secluded location, swept by a sea breeze, makes it the ideal place to stroll with friends, especially in the late afternoon.

Just south of Chaweng, this restaurant stands out thanks to its fine cuisine and its pleasant setting. On the menu, Thai specialties made with quality products and without MSG, such as the duck curry with pineapple (a delight), or the massaman curry... Great choice of seafood. All dishes are delicately presented and will make your mouth water. Do not hesitate to ask for the recommendations of the day. You can dine on the ventilated terrace or in a small air-conditioned room. Attentive and discreet service.

A single-storey building in the immediate vicinity of the Hadthong Hotel, with a large, pleasant terrace overlooking the waterfront. The establishment offers decent seafood and fish specialties at affordable prices, though more expensive than its neighbors. The food on offer is of uneven quality, with Thai dishes to be preferred. Service is decent. The location along the promenade is its main quality, and in the evening the atmosphere is pleasant for a drink, while listening to local musicians.

This hotel restaurant is in keeping with the establishment, extremely cosy and warm, with wooden furniture. The menu offers Thai and Burmese dishes, as well as excellent fish and seafood specialties. Myanmar dishes are a great discovery, especially since no other restaurant on the island offers them. The menu changes regularly, and the establishment is open to all! The cocktail menu is also of high quality. ODT is a good choice for a dinner party even if it's a bit expensive, but you should also think about having fun!

It has become one of the must-see places for French residents and holidaymakers, a meeting and sharing point. Here, all the dishes are homemade: ravioli, gnocchi, lasagne, cordon bleu and giant salads, tartar and tuna steak, not forgetting of course the traditional Thai dishes (pad thai, kaopad kai, green curry), fresh fruit juices or coconut, to be enjoyed with your feet in the sand. In addition, the staff is friendly and attentive. Deckchairs with umbrellas and towels are provided.

Right in the city centre, on the left bank of the Phetchaburi River and just next to the Chom Klao bridge, this nice little wooden restaurant with its old-fashioned decoration exudes a certain charm: background music, photos of singers hanging on the walls and a view of the river. Thai specialties at low prices. The proposed rooms have shared bathrooms and look like small cells! For (very) tight budgets only.

Located directly on the beach, this nice bar-restaurant proposes good Thai dishes and seafood specialties at very affordable prices. The cuisine is quite good. They also serve alcohols, beers and good cocktails to sip with your feet in the sand while admiring the blue horizon. An unpretentious, simple establishment, which has the advantage of being very pleasant and friendly. In the evening, musicians come regularly to perform live. A good place to spend a good evening without breaking your piggy bank.

Thai specialities served in a modern setting. Some Western dishes also. Quiet and pleasant atmosphere despite external traffic.

Installed on stilts, the "People of the Sea" restaurant is of course specialized in fish and shellfish. Good local reputation... The atmosphere is closer to that of a canteen than a big restaurant. Beautiful terrace overlooking the beach. The fish is cooked to perfection. The large number of customers suggests that the products are very fresh, which is very positive. On the other hand, we noticed a certain carelessness concerning the service on certain evenings. It's a pity that the prices are a bit prohibitive.

A convenient address in the north of the village, on the road to Chalok Baan Kao. Thai restaurant offering appetizing family cuisine. Green papaya salad (som tam), curries, sandwiches... The choice is vast. There are also good breakfast options. A typical wooden place. Floor prices are another factor in the success of Yang Thai Food. The service is rather fast and very friendly. A bit hard to find, but it would be a shame to miss one of Koh Tao's best shots.

One of the island's hidden treasures! Situated in the hills between Chaweng and Lamai, The Jungle Club is a charming establishment offering exclusive accommodation and an exceptional panoramic bar-restaurant. Chef Wally offers top-flight cuisine, with international recipes prepared with quality ingredients, to be enjoyed in elegant surroundings. The view over Chaweng Bay is simply breathtaking. Reservations recommended.

The restaurant of this resort perched on the hills offers refined cuisine. Seafood and fish specialties, Thai or grilled, absolutely delicious. You can dine on the large terrace from where the view of Aow Leuk Bay and Shark Island is absolutely fantastic, and will delight romantic couples in the early evening. A piece of advice: come before sunset! Taxi service available to pick you up and bring you back.

Quality Thai cuisine at very reasonable prices, and with a rare concept of wok cooking. This restaurant chain, with its local colour, has everything you need to have a great time. The Pad Thai is succulent and known to be one of the best in Lamai. Let yourself be tempted by the yellow crab curry, it is excellent. The only downside is that the portions are a little small for heavy eaters. The place, open on the street, is close to several shops. The service is courteous and fast. A good choice for lunch.

The restaurant has a modern and friendly setting with pleasant music in the background. You can sit in the large garden, in the air-conditioned room, around tables with chairs or cushions, or enjoy a good iced coffee on bar stools outside. They offer good classic Thai food(pad kra pao with pork, som tam, fried fish...) as well as some western dishes. The staff speaks little English, ask for the menu in Thai with pictures to make your choice.

The cozy setting is elegant, with lots of woodwork, tables made from old sewing machines, and antiques scattered here and there. The menu offers the classics of Thai cuisine, but also a whole range of fresh seafood that you can choose directly from the stalls. The dishes are a bit westernized, so not very spicy, which makes it an excellent place to dine with the family. Very good cocktails too.

This small wooden restaurant serves delicious traditional Thai cuisine at unbeatable prices. Less visually appealing than the others, it's easy to overlook... which would be a real shame. The noodle soups and other curries are prepared with great skill, and the delicious banana blossom salad will introduce you to new flavors. Of course, to finish your meal on a sweet note, try the classic mango sticky rice. Recommended.

Located just before Raya Restaurant, this small, unassuming establishment serves authentic Thai cuisine, including excellent seafood specialties. The plates are colorful and the cooking times perfect. The food is really very good, and the prices are affordable. Please note that some dishes are quite spicy, as they are designed for Thai palates, so don't hesitate to ask if you'd like your dish not spicy.
