Snapper House

Krua Luang Ten makes for an unusual setting with its tables arranged on sand-covered floors. Check the whiteboard for the specials, which often feature the catch of the day and seasonal ingredients. The dishes masterfully balance robust Southern Thai flavours for authentic spiciness, and the complimentary vegetables come with tai pla sauce. N.B. The restaurant is closed on the 10th, 20th, and 30th of the month.

Basic furnishings and modest dish presentations belie the skill behind their precisely cooked recipes, which are made to order. Specialising in authentic Southern Thai seafood, they source the day's catch for dishes such as red grouper with bitter melon, and simple stir-fried melinjo leaves with fresh prawns. Their home-made curries use local Phang-nga ingredients. The wall of celebrity photos attests to its popularity.

Established for over 35 years, the restaurant has fostered a close connection with local fishermen, ensuring the delivery of a diverse selection of fresh seafood. The open-air main dining area exudes the charm of an old Thai-Chinese eatery. Popular among divers returning from Mu Ko Similan, the intense flavours authentically represent local cuisine, with generously sized dishes. Standouts include the stir-fried crab with lime and the southern curry featuring river snails and wild betel leaves.

Offering a relaxing setting with indoor and outdoor seating perfect for enjoying cocktails and a delightful mix of Mediterranean dishes, against the backdrop of the evening sunset. Specialising in fresh seafood grilled over a wood-burning stove, the restaurant's standout dish is a seafood pizza with shrimp, squid, mussels, and mozzarella. Complete your dining experience with a delicious dessert like crispy fried bananas served with coconut milk ice cream.
