She will tone down the chilli quotient upon request, but her food is best when spiced
for the local palate, which is why she attracts droves of Thai tourists, who know what
good food is.

Papaya Mom
(mains 80-160B; 10am-10pm)
Another cute Isan food stall between two beaches, notable for
authentic eats popular with local Thais (grilled spicy pork neck,
lâhp
). Meat dishes are
so varied and succulent they may make an omnivore out of even the least-conflicted ve-
gan. Okay, maybe not. Vegans can raid the luscious fruit stand.

While service is not
always swift, it does come with a warm smile, and they have a tasty seafood grill, with
local tuna, king prawns, snapper and more all lined up for the weighing and choosing.
They also have decent-value wood and bamboo thatched bungalows (1200B) set back
from the beach.
Home Bar
( 11am-10pm)
An alluring ramshackle driftwood assemblage of a reggae bar that seems to
have washed up and been pieced together by some supernatural jah love force in the ba-
nana tree hills above Hat Sunrise (translation: a lot of really high people burned the blue-
print and devoted countless man hours here). It's more than a bar, it's a work of art.
