This well-established, low-key local favourite serves Southern Thai food in a relaxed setting. As well as seafood and freshwater fish, the Thai-Chinese-leaning menu features several pork dishes and a few with chicken or beef. Bold Southern curries sit alongside wok-fried classics; begin with a spicy yum salad and ask for local fish prepared to your liking. Enquire about the daily specials – the kitchen's confident touch ensures vibrant, comforting fare.

This modest favourite draws queues, but your patience will be rewarded! The phak bung tai rao – crispy shrimp, morning glory and fine-sliced pork skin tossed in a sweet-tangy sauce – is superb with rice noodles. Generous portions and wallet-friendly prices make it a great value.

At this relaxed spot in a traditional Thai house 20 minutes from town, the cordial service makes you feel like you are at a friend's place. The chef-owner shops each morning, picking mostly local produce; pastes are pounded fresh, and every dish is cooked à la minute so second orders take time. Lon is favoured over chilli paste, and the tamarind-scented kung phat sauce makham perfectly balances sweet and sour.
