Description

Pan-fried cashew chicken, shrimp pad Thai and spicy shrimp salad carry far more flavour than their sand-between-the-toes setting has any right to promise. Same Same But Different sits on Kantiang Bay beside Pimalai, with proper Thai cooking, fresh fruit shakes and cocktails under the trees.

The beach-cleanup art is the point beyond the view. Plastic-bottle whales, salvaged fishing rope and a wall of abandoned shoes turn washed-up debris into the decor, while paper straws keep the theme from collapsing under its own weight. Even the toilets are worth a look, which is not a sentence written lightly.

Claim a table facing the water for sunset, then settle in with a cold coconut, Thai iced milk tea or decent coffee. Morning glory, massaman curry, papaya salad, glass noodle salad and mango sticky rice all hold their end of the bargain.

Kantiang Bay is quieter than the busier west-coast strips, and this place suits Foodies and couples willing to linger after dinner. The sand-side seats fill up fast around sunset; the best tables do not appear through optimism alone.

Highlights

Insider Tip
Approach along Kantiang Bay from the Pimalai side; the restaurant is a short beach walk from the resort and much easier to spot from the sand than the road.
