Description

Green curry, Penang chicken curry and fresh fish are the reasons to find The Bay, tucked into a hotel by the sand. The Thai cooking carries the place, with proper depth in the curries and seafood that belongs beside the sea.

Fried chicken salad is a strong lunch pick, while spring rolls, sweet-and-sour prawns and prawn fried rice cover the less ceremonial end of the menu. Save room for mango sticky rice or boiled bananas in coconut milk; the latter is old-school Thai comfort in a bowl.

Dinner lands best after dark, with beach tables, low lighting, cold beer and cocktails doing their bit without requiring an orchestral soundtrack. Prices sit above the roadside Thai restaurants, paying for the setting and the hotel-side finish. Couples after a sand-between-the-toes meal will enjoy it; bargain hunters should keep rolling.

The European options exist, but Thai dishes deserve the order. A plate of Massaman chicken with fried noodles is a far better use of the kitchen than playing culinary bingo across continents.
