Ban Phe
As you'd expect from a coastal town, Ban Phe serves up simple, tasty seafood. A handful of bars and seafood restaurants can be found on the eastern side of town, but the best place to eat is at Baan Rabeang Mai 2, opposite Mac Garden Resort.With few people stopping in Ban Phe for long, you aren't left with too many other dining options: cheap noodle shops line the main avenue and a couple of tourist restaurants near the pier offer basic fare. On the downside the noodle and stir-fry shops mostly lack English menus, but it shouldn't be too difficult to order a simple som tam or fried rice.
For early risers, Chopana, located opposite Christie's, has rich, dark coffee and a breakfast menu.
Aforementioned Christie's Restaurant and Bar stands out as the sole spot for nightlife in Ban Phe. While staff are friendly, the cooks seem to know this is the only game in town, and turn out somewhat bland food. Located on the main drag midway between the bus station and the Diamond Hotel, this is the most happening place in Ban Phe, boasting a full bar and an extensive menu of Western and Thai food, burgers and breakfasts.
The sois adjoining Christie's are filled with brothels and short-time rooms and are best avoided after dark.
