Seaside Sanctuary
Description
Yellow coconut curry with pineapple is the order here: rich, sweet, properly spiced, and nowhere near as timid as its cheerful colour suggests. Add the shrimp spring rolls, fried rice, or pad ka prao, and you have a menu that takes Thai staples seriously.
The setting is a leafy roadside garden with palms, cacti, shaded tables and fans pointed at the seats that need them. The beach is a short walk away, while the bungalows sit behind the restaurant, so it suits a lazy breakfast, a long lunch, or dinner without launching a scooter expedition.
Breakfast has more ambition than toast with an existential crisis. The omelettes, filled crepes, pancakes and passion-fruit yoghurt shakes give early eaters proper options, while vegetarian dishes are easy to find across the Thai menu.
Tutka runs the place with the relaxed warmth of someone who has seen travellers arrive hungry and leave with plans to stay another week. Stick to Thai food over burgers, settle into the shaded garden, and save room for a sweet treat after the curry.
