Surin Beach

Surin town has some good eating options, clustered together around the accommodation, so you won't have much trouble finding something good to eat. But, unlike some other beach towns, you can also still find Thai places under a tin roof without a floor or walls that will serve up tasty and cheap local food, not too far from the centre of commerce. Tourist-friendly options include Carmen Restaurant, serving Italian, as well as Thai, food, just south of The Chedi -- pizza from 180 to 350B, mains from 120 to 380. There's also a Japanese sushi place, Noon Restaurant, at Surin Beach Resort next to the Twin Palms, with prices that aren't too bad for sushi. Also worth seeking out, though you'll definitely need transport to get there, is Lady Pie in nearby Chergtalay, 3km from the Heroine's monument on the way to Surin. The Aussie expat who runs it makes meat pies, fruit pies, and sausage rolls that are absolutely fantastic. You can get them frozen for takeaway or eat them at her small restaurant on site.
