Kantiang
Description
Massaman fried rice is the clever order here: curry sauce worked through the rice, proper depth, and far more memorable than the usual chicken-and-rice routine. The green curry version deserves the same attention, especially after a day at Kantiang Bay spent pretending sand is not in every possession.
Panang and Massaman curries are the backbone of the kitchen, rich without turning dinner into a coconut-milk endurance test. Tom Kha Gai lands bright and fragrant, while larb and pork with ginger bring sharper, punchier flavours. Fish dishes are the better call for anyone bored of rotating through chicken curries.
The room is simple, with basic tables and a family-run feel that fits the beach-road setting. Portions lean modest, so hungry swimmers should add a second dish.
Thai food gets the full attention, though there are western options for anyone whose holiday planning has gone badly sideways. Kantiang is best for affordable, flavour-led dinners where curry is doing the interesting work.
