In-Depth Information
( 0 3955 1253; Hat Kai Mook; dishes 150-350B; breakfast, lunch & dinner)
Owned by an arty escapee from Bangkok, this friendly boutique hotel has a gener-
ous portion of oceanfront dining and a relaxed, romantic atmosphere. All the Thai
dishes are prepared in the island-style, more sweet than spicy.
IYARA SEAFOOD $$
( 0 3955 1353; Khlong Prao; dishes 150-300B; lunch & dinner)
Iyara isn't your
standard island seafood warehouse: after dining in the lovely bamboo pavilion,
guests are invited to kayak along the nearby estuary.

BARRIO BONITO $$
( 08 0092 8208; Lonely Beach; dishes 150-250B; breakfast, lunch & dinner)
This breezy, hip place has all the island raving about its seriously good Mexican
fare. A French-Mexican couple runs the place with flair and there's a plunge pool
should the salsa induce sweating.

RUAN THAI $$
(Ban Bang Bao; dishes 100-300B; lunch & dinner)
It's about as fresh as it gets
(note your future dinner greeting you in tanks as you enter) and the portions are
large. The doting service is beyond excellent - they'll even help you crack your
crabs.
