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 re-
strained 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.
