Description

Duck in tamarind sauce, red curry and tom kha gai are the orders that put Samphaotong ahead of the pier-side places serving the same old laminated greatest hits. The Thai cooking lands properly spicy, with enough care in the curries to make a second visit feel entirely reasonable.

The house sits above the water at Saladan Pier, with an open terrace looking across the harbour. Take a table by the rail near sunset and watch longtail traffic thread through the view. It is a far better use of an evening than staring at a ferry timetable, which has never improved anyone’s appetite.

Vegetarian dishes hold their own here. Fried cashew nuts with chicken is another safe bet, especially for anyone needing a break from curry without wandering into burger-country.

Samphaotong fits a proper Thai dinner after arriving or before leaving the island, especially for food-focused groups who want a harbour view attached. The terrace over Saladan’s working waterfront is the detail that turns dinner into a stop worth making.

Highlights
