About Krabi and Krabi province
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. Krabi province 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.

Such a unique place offering both traditional Thai and French cuisine. You can tell the chef is properly trained and understands food. Every dish we had was delightful and technically sound, and we sampled quite a bit of the menu. The staff are also well trained in knowing the little things like how to pace the courses and when to offer new cutlery. The atmosphere is quaint and cozy with lots of personality. The large open windows allow for an al fresco experience while still feeling private. The prices are amazing considering the quality of food - we indulged lavishly in 3 courses for only around 1300 baht per person. I recommend the snails in butter and the tuna tartare. Also, the level of spicy is proper Thai spicy, so be careful when they ask you to choose your spice level! Definitely a fine dining experience worth your visit if you're in Krabi. And just in case you're scared of geckos like I am, there wasn't a gecko in sight
04/02/2026 21:19Had a fantastic meal, service, ambience and food excellent. We found this restaurant by chance, just exploring the area and what a find! We had bread, cheese and tomatoes to share as a starter, my husband had the massaman lamb curry, I had the seabass with basil sauce and a green salad, and apple tarttan with ice cream for dessert. All excellent, I highly recommend this restaurant
29/12/2025 11:33We came across this on our last night in Krabi. We enjoyed the environment as a “proper” restaurant. Reminded me of a French bistro with Thai influences. The food was delicious and we enjoyed it all. The tiger prawns were perfectly cooked sand it was all v satisfactory. The leather sofa and gravy wood tables are v comfortable. It’s v warm as fans only. The homemade ice creams were excellent. The French host/owner v welcoming and helpful.
25/12/2025 22:48Eclectic French/Thai fusion spot. The food was fine but not a place I would come back to. The Panang duck was better than the cashew chicken - but the Panang curry was quite tasty
Kinda strange they had multiple massive sandwich boards for part of their menu?
A beautiful place, nicely decorated and very cozy.
I came there with 2 friends. We all ordered different meals but we all agreed to say that the food was absolutely incredible.
The service was outstanding too.
As a French person living in Thailand, it felt fantastic to have proper French food.
A real gem, highly recommended!
