The Krabi province may hint at the ample seafood dishes you can enjoy here but there is so much more on the menu if authentic Thai cuisine is what you are in the mood for!
This is a family business set smack in the middle of Krabi Town. The cosiness of the place in its rustic wooden design will make you feel right at home. Stop over during your evening stroll around the town to sit down to a warm supper of local favourites like pad thai and Massaman curry.
Conveniently located near luxury accommodations like Anantara Si Kao Resort, for instance, it dazzles with local flare in its traditional bamboo and thatch shelter. As one of Ao Nang's top-notch restaurants, the restaurant serves authentic Thai meals at reasonable rates with only the best of local hospitality. Enjoy spring rolls, glass noodle salads and many other Thai delicacies lovingly prepared by a skilled chef.
If you are looking for a bit of romance in the city by night then an evening at the Bai Tong restaurant gives you more bang for your buck. It's gorgeous pagodas hide you away and chill you with the cool air of the outdoors while you savour the delicious curries and food on the exclusive menu.
Sitting along the stretch of Railay beaches of the West and East is a spot where Thai cuisine is a good-old-fashioned plate of signature local flavours. They are masterfully prepared for you by an excellent team of culinary artists and served inside a simple yet chic dining space.
The restaurant is tastefully decorated in typical Thai fashion with a modern twist. Bussaba Thai Restaurant is located in the North of Ao Nang and can seat up to 48 people. There is a lot of traditional Thai cuisine which is created here and sometimes met with a fusion take on the classics.
This is yet another incredible restaurant with a rather humble ambience which adds to the whole experience of dining in Krabi Town. Located in Nopparat Thara, this is another family business which actually gives guests permission to choose their meat straight out of the fish tanks so that it may be cooked exactly to their liking. It is fresh seafood at its finest.
There is a reason why it is so hard to get a table at this particular dining spot. The restaurant features a small space for indoor and outdoor dining yet the simplicity of the atmosphere, not to mention the amazing portions of the meals served here and very affordable prices bring a crowd over frequently.
Set underneath the shade of almond trees, the Mangrove Restaurant certainly lives up to its name with its relaxing ambience and excellent food. Tasty southern dishes are on offer here which includes some of the freshest catch of the day which dominates amongst the cuisine found at restaurants in Krabi.
The outdoor terrace certainly makes a pretty picture of an idyllic sit-down meal in Krabi Town. Here also, can you pick your main ingredient fresh from the fish tanks and watch the meat being prepared before your very eyes. If you are passing by the Ao Nang area, this is a definite must-see simply for the gastronomically awesome experience.
Enjoy some of the best Thai dishes including meats, curries and seafood platters under the twinkling lights of the night sky at this night market which happens to be one of the biggest in the tow. It is a fun and exciting place to be and the energy here is infectious. It is also the ideal way to catch a glimpse of local living.
