Practical tips
- Visit slightly before standard lunch or dinner peaks to avoid queues.

- Mention allergies or chili level when ordering — Thai dishes can be spicy by default.

Best time to visit

During monsoon, some beach roads flood briefly — always check live weather and pier notices before island day trips.

About Krabi and Ao Nang
Krabi province on Thailand's Andaman coast is famous for limestone cliffs, clear water, and easy access to islands such as Phi Phi, Hong Island, and local four-island loops. Ao Nang sits within this network of beaches, piers, and national park zones, making it practical for both short holidays and week-long stays. Infrastructure has improved steadily — ATMs, mini-marts, clinics, and tour counters are common — yet the region still feels more relaxed than busier beach hubs.
Check In Krabi publishes guides, hotel lists, restaurant picks, and public place notes to help visitors compare options before they book. Always cross-check ferry times, park fees, and national holiday crowds because conditions change by season. Respect marine parks: avoid single-use plastic on boats, do not stand on coral, and follow staff instructions during snorkeling stops.

Unfortunately only visited on our last day in Au Nang. We called in at lunch time after checking that the Happy Hour cocktail price of 99 baht included G&T, it did.
We ate a papaya salad and a chicken with rice and egg.. They were so good we returned this evening.
We shared fish cakes to start, then squid laab and curry fried rice with vegetables.
Again all excellent.
Thr main man is friendly and makes a perfect G&T. The ladies cook great food and everyone clears away empty plates/bottles, something not always experienced.
We were given free ice cream.
Prices are excellent. We have noticed most restaurants offering "Happy Hour" prices for drinks then overcharge on the food. This was not the case here. Highly recommended.
I stumbled upon this place one night for ice cream and it was everything I wanted. I had to come back for dinner the second night and it did not disappoint. I got the chicken chili basil rice and it was delicious every bite. The staff is super friendly and inviting. I’ll be coming back next time I’m in Thailand! ☺️
21/01/2026 19:38The food was delicious! First we ordered the coconut ice cream, then we saw the menu and the rest of the dishes were absolutely great! Hope to come back again soon
28/12/2025 19:09If what we eat matters, then where we eat l, matters as much, if not more. On the back streets off the beaten path. Well worth the journey. I returned every night for a week. Food is authentic. Heavenly. And good on the purse strings. This is #1 in Ao Nang.
09/12/2025 20:26Best thai restaurant I’ve tried so far in 3 days.
We were three people and ate delicious food (pineapple fried rice with chicken for me - the best)
Service was great kind and fast.
Will definitely come back here next time
