The best Phad Thai on the island, made by a Rocker. You know it's going to be awesome when the menu only has a few items on it. The prices are a little higher than Phad Thai elsewhere. It's worth it.
Their shakes are killer, and the Tom Kha Gai is perfection as well.

Rustic, Authentic Thai. No frills service or atmosphere, and they can be a little slow, so don't go when you're already hungry. It's the best Thai food in the area though, so well worth waiting for them to do their thing. Prices are awesome as well.
They recently relocated to beach front just outside of Kantiang Bay, so there's a nice view during the day, and ocean breeze at night, but this place is all about the Thai food - not the atmosphere. They're marked wrong on this map. Ask any local where they've moved to for directions.
Not to be missed.

Worth making the trip across the island to Old Town for. Ignore the standard touristy stuff of weird western food and phad thai and try a few Thai dishes you've never had before. Guaranteed to be a great meal. Perfect for large group sharing meals

Gourmet, beautiful, modern food. On the higher end of the price range on the island, but well worth it. Just compare what you would pay for a meal half as good as this one in any city in the world.
Order ALL the side dishes.
