Dining
Nampetch
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.
Yok Kheng
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.
Keo Pla
This locally renowned noodle shop first opened in 1959. The homemade fish dumplings with celery and the umami-rich fish balls invariably attract long queues. Tom Yum and Yen Ta Fo soup options are also available for those seeking something more savoury and full-flavoured.
Lucky
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.
Phunisa
Standing atop a picturesque hill, the restaurant commands splendid views of the Tapi River winding through a green landscape of palm tree plantations and mountains. They serve tasty Southern Thai fare, including salted duck egg and local river prawns. A spicy seafood sauce and chargrill aroma add depth and complexity to the natural umami of prawns, while a spicy Southern Thai curry soup with pork cartilage features intense peppery and spicy flavours.
Khao Kriab Pak Mor
The veteran stall-owner has been making her delicious dumplings for decades in this famous food cart in Na San Jao market. The thin steamed rice dumplings combine a sweet, gooey texture with a savoury filling, made with minced pork, crushed peanuts and herbs in creamy coconut milk.
Heng Khao Moo Daeng
This simple eatery is always bustling at lunchtime with queues for both dine-in and takeout. The owner's inviting and chatty demeanour sets the scene. His signature barbeque pork comes with crispy pork and sweet sausage inside and a large portion only costs 40 baht.
Lam Phu 2
Watch the fishing boats on Tapi River while enjoying a bright and airy setting and local seafood cooked southern style. The oyster omelette is gorgeous with a crispy egg base, spot-on seasoning and fresh local oysters; it goes well with steamed rice. The tender stir-fried squid with salted eggs is packed with flavour and flanked by an impressively creamy sauce. With over 100 seats, there is ample room for large groups to enjoy the scenic view.
