Ko Samet Restaurants

The restaurant is just around the corner to where we stayed. You can chose of your table either your in the restaurant viewing the white beach or beside the beach..though both of them are pretty. Most of the costumers when we got there were locals. As it was the King's birthday, most of the locals are having a weekend in some of the beaches..I've also seen quiet alot of tourist in the area. Some are British that they just sat beside the beach and had coconut juice and there skin in the sun!

The food was okey..well, it's the nearest restaurant and the roads to anywhere of the beach resorts are bad as it gets...so, we didn't had chance to go anywhere aside from that we go there for beach hopping!

Favorite Dish: Grilled chicken and friend rice with ham for hubby's b-fast.And for me, had an ABF..it only cost as 400baht with of cappuccino and expresso!

The grilled chicken that hubby had wasn't that bad as he expected! It's good and not very spicy...'

The resto has a very smart staff and is very friendly named as "A", she speaks good english and can help you with the menu in ordering as she will tell you about their foods in there!

Favorite Dish: Try the Fried crab with curry yellow power,it's okey for 150baht in the island! And the stem fish hubby ordered...

Everything about this restaurant brings me back good thoughts.......perfect seats right above the beach, family ran place with the best service, and the food was UNREAL. I ate alot of shrimp at this place but everything that we tried was really good. Also if you are on a budget this place is one of the cheapest on the island, i think that is because it is family ran. Fresh fruit shakes are 25 Baht and you can get a full thai dinner for 35 Baht. SUper cheap....check out the pictures for some of the dishes...

Favorite Dish: Sweet N Sour shrimp something....... haha i dont remember the excat name.... and
the curry, mmmm really good curry at this place.

The retaurant is just across the bus station right you got off in the bus and you can see this glass stained restaurant that has some american decorations..something like the style of fridays bar..but they have very good taste od of thai local foods. The restaurants owner will have your order and they give us a complimentary garlic bread as the food will take a while..it was 3pm when we ordered and no ones a costumer except us..It's kinda clean and handy..

Favorite Dish: Fried rice with pork and stir fried pork with basil leaves. It's good and cheap!

If it will not rain, the outside resto by the beach is very pretty filled with big trees to have a shelter on but be sure to ask for a mosquito killer!haha..Well, they do have best thai foods. They served from 7am to modnight. They have a good looking small beach front sari-sari store(if that's how it calls). It can get too crowded during weekends and will be deserted during sundays and weekdays.

Samet Ville Resort is the only resort that operates around Ao Wai so all the people in the Resort will go in this resto for food! Go there early for lunch and dinner so that you can eat directly. Foods can get too late after order! They also have very friendly staffs..except for the gay frontdesk;-)

Favorite Dish: Fried crab with curry(always) and Fried sea bass with sweet and sour souce and fried rice.

Pictures later..

There are numerous restaurants on the beaches of Koh Samet, and on the east coast, where we stayed, we noticed that by around sunset, the restauranters would set-up blankets, tables and pillows infront of their restaurants.

During the day, people sunbake and enjoy the beach. At night, you can have a meal on the beach, but don't worry about sand, etc, as they lay blankets.

It's an absolutely fantastic way to enjoy a really nice Thai meal... listening to the water lightly splash, and eating. It was a beautiful experience!

There is also a livelier part of the beach, where there is a very large TV screen and bar... again, people just lay on the beach at night. At the time we were there, they were showing an English Premier League Football match live. Thais and many tourists love football, so don't be surprised to see a lot of it at many bars and restaurants!

The food there is moderate. But the taste of Pat tai(sort of noodle) was incredible.. was very cheap also..

and at nights, the barbecue's served, still very cheap, (well... I know in Thai, almost everything's very cheap .. but still can't stop imposing.. ) and tasty as well!

Jeps BBQ is the place to try when on Koh Samet. You can pick whatever you desire from the display and they will BBQ it up for you. They have live crabs and lobster for you to pick and they will cook it exactly how you like. All tables are just a few metres from the beach and you can the waves as you're eating your meal. The only bad point was the amount of mosquitos around but the kind staff of Jeps BBQ put some kind of incense sticks in the sand and this seemed to get rid of the pesky little flies!

Favorite Dish: It's all good, my favourite had to be the mackeral kebab washed down by a large Chang Beer.....simply delicious!!
