Salakphet

Salakphet's homestays are where you'll find some of the best deals on fine Thai cuisine going around. Guests can take part in a Thai family's nightly seafood smorgasbord for as little as 50B. Beyond that there's a smattering of independent Thai eateries where you can depend on getting a good old dish of fried rice and chicken for 20B. Resorts mostly have decent but often overpriced restaurants attached, and the better ones in Salakphet are on the eastern side of the bay, near the marina.

There are plenty of signs leading to Salakphet Seafood so you'd have trouble not finding it; nonetheless its location is on the western side of the bay, and there's a large car-parking area out front. The entrance is quite inconspicuous as you walk past the back of the kitchens to find the restaurant, perched on a huge wooden deck holding over 100 people on a busy night. Once seated though the ambiance can't help to inspire you, with rustic decor, wooden floors and stunning vistas of the islets and bays in the area. The menu features majority seafood, but for the meat only brigade there's a few chicken and pork dishes. All food comes recommended, but the specials of the house are most certainly fresh fish and crab.
