Phuket's Famous Beach Shack Restaurants:
right on Phuket's best beaches

Bang Tao, Surin, Kamala and Nai Yang Beach Restaurants

These restaurants are half the reason I live on Phuket.  What can be better than a wonderful meal at bargain prices with the sea lapping at your heels?  The beautiful scene above is just down the street from my house.  What more can you ask from life?  Phuket!  For a great slideshow of the 25+ restaurants right on the sand of Bang Tao Beach and some recommendations for what to eat where - head over to www.PhuketGoldCoast.com

Kamala, Surin, Bang Tao, and Nai Yang beaches are the true center for these type of beach restaurants.  The numbers and names change regularly - but all four beaches are well worth traveling to if you love discovering great new places to eat. Really, it is difficult to find a bad place to eat.

Surin Beach alone has 25+ restaurants!  If you can't find something you like - you just aren't trying!  Twin Brothers is the photo to the left here. The other beaches sport similar numbers, with more in the high season and fewer in low season.

Favorites?  Andaman Seafood on Nai Yang Beach, Siam's Place on Kamala Beach (rebuilding after the tsunami), Tom Yom Koong on Bang Tao Beach (right in front of the Laguna Beach Resort), and the pizza favorite - Twin Brother's - on Surin Beach.

Left: this restaurant isn't on Bang Tao Beach anymore - but I found two of their signs as driftwood (long before the tsunami) - I love beachcombing! If these are your signs - send me a note, I'll give them back to you. For now, they are decorating my carport.
