Thailand

The resort's restaurant is open to non-residents, allowing them to take advantage of the resort's facilities and privileged position on Sunrise Beach. During the day, you can sit back and enjoy the beach and delicious Thai food and drinks at reasonable prices. Every evening in high season, a seafood barbecue is offered, with the possibility of dining on the terrace, with your feet in the water. Peaceful and romantic atmosphere.

Colourful illuminations in the centre of the beach will probably attract your attention, this is the small Malee Seafood restaurant. Plastic menus, skewers, wooden furniture and quick service, no doubt, it is a real little Thai gargote run by people from the village. It serves honest Thai cuisine and seafood specialties that can be chosen in a vivarium.... Beer is cheapest here too. The Madama Ping restaurant next door is also worth a try.

This friendly restaurant is located not far from the landing stage, on the main street (crossing the village from west to east). The menu is varied and international, with an emphasis on seafood, particularly... crab! Traditional Thai recipes are well executed. The fish are fresh and tasty. Without being exceptional, the Lucky Crab is nevertheless one of the best restaurants in Haad Rin, the offer being of poor quality in this part of the island. The service is pleasant but sometimes a bit long. Reasonable prices.

The Raya Resort's restaurant, with its traditional Thai architectural style, is superb. This elegant setting is ideal for a sophisticated and romantic dinner or gourmet lunch. A la carte, carefully concocted fish and seafood specialties, but also the classics of Thai cuisine and some western dishes. The dishes are copious and carefully presented. Wine list provided and attentive and discreet service. One of the best tables in town.

Close to the landing stage, this nice little restaurant has a terrace with a magnificent view of the bay. On the menu are the usual Thai specialties, and fish and seafood, concocted in a classic Thai style, grilled or stir-fried. It's good and really cheap. Possibility to drink a cold beer, or even spirits if you feel like it after a long day of diving. Several establishments of the same type are lined up in front of the beach, but this one remains our favourite

Located south of White Sand Beach, near Klong Prao, this restaurant serves good seafood specialities. The egg noodles (egg noodles) prepared on the premises, served with seafood, are to be tasted. The menu also includes classic dishes such as pad thai or chicken with cashew nuts. The rates are still a little high, but the address is busy. Some recipes hit the bull's-eye while others are more mundane... Open room and pleasant terrace. Correct service.

A particularly charming place located on the riverside, on the road leading to the Iyara Resort. A small wooden house with white and blue in predominant colours, with several atmospheres (terrace, room). As you can imagine, Thai-style seafood specialties are served here. It's excellent and the rates are very affordable. The terrace of this restaurant is very pleasant. It is nice to stroll and admire the coming and going of the boats on the river. Low prices, pleasant service. Warmly recommended.

This wooden restaurant on stilts is located along a river, just at the mouth with the sea. To get there you have to take the street of the Ramayana Koh Chang Resort. In addition to the exceptional location, guests come for the excellent fish and seafood preparations and the mild prices. The classics of the national cuisine are also served here. The service is a little nonchalant but the quality of the dishes and the splendid view make you forget this false note. The wooden structure is a little floating, but it holds!

View of the bay and boats at anchor. Interesting explanations in various languages, including French, are provided on the menu, setting it apart from other establishments. And the food? Much the same as its neighbors: very fresh seafood, preferably grilled. If there's more than one of you, it's best to order several dishes so you can build up a range of grilled fish and seafood. Dishes requiring more skill are rarely successful.

Here is an establishment as we like them, totally invested in its mission: to offer healthy food with quality ingredients. No plastic is used here and even bamboo straws! You can enjoy vegetarian, vegan and/or gluten-free dishes in a pleasant little garden. On-site shop with various products, including superfoods such as Moringa and Goji berries. Nice library where you can buy or exchange books. And on top of that, the team is very nice and is also involved in various NGOs!

A beautiful establishment with its feet in the sand directly on the large beach of Ao Yai. It is the restaurant of the JJ Beach Resort which offers rooms and bungalows. The furniture of the restaurant is made of wood, which is pleasant and not so common on the island. Colourful but discreet illuminations give an etheric atmosphere in the evening. Speciality of fish and seafood, generally from the day's catch, grilled on the barbecue. It is an excellent spot to dine with your feet in the sand, but also to contemplate the sunset.

This Nora Buri Resort & Spa restaurant is a little gem. The beachside terrace offers a romantic setting, and your plate is equally well-stocked: sumptuous seafood, well-prepared meats, divine desserts...

The setting is very neat, with lots of wood panelling, mini-fountains on the river, a large bus as a room and life-size statues of Marvel heroes.

Located in the Santitham district, this restaurant is well known to locals and expats alike. Often full, you'll probably have to wait to get a table. The reason for its success? Excellent meats (beef, pork, offal, chicken) and vegetables to grill yourself on a small charcoal barbecue. The menu is extensive, with a choice of cuts of meat, prepared dishes, gyozas, sashimi and more. The atmosphere is friendly and the service prompt. The dining room is open and airy, and it can get pretty hot in front of the barbecue!

A multitude of restaurants lined up on the promenade facing the ocean: all of them offer more or less the same cuisine. We chose this one because it is mainly frequented by locals. The prices are affordable, but can go up depending on the products ordered. The place is nice, simple, with wooden furniture. The dishes are good, from squids to shrimps, including whole fish (excellent mackerel). Smiling service.
