Eating & Drinking
Virtually all of the island's accommodation has attached restaurants with adequate but not
outstanding fare. Parties abound on the beaches and range from the older, more restrained
scene on Hat Sai Khao, to the younger and sloppier fiestas on Lonely Beach.

Porn's Bungalows Restaurant
(Hat Kaibae; dishes 80-180B; 11am-11pm) This laid-back, dark-wood restaurant is the quintes-
sential beachside lounge. Great barbecue. Feel free to have your drinks out-size your meal
and don't worry about dressing for dinner.

Nid's Kitchen
(nidkitchen@hotmail.com; Hat Kaibae; dishes 50-150B; 6pm-midnight) Nid's does all the Thai standar-
ds like a wok wizard in a hut festooned with rasta imagery. Equally fine for a drink or
three.
