Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Here you pay for the view, and it's absolutely worth it. From the hilltop, the entire Phang Nga Bay unfolds before you: limestone cliffs rise from turquoise water, islands stretch to the horizon. People rave about it, and rightly so. Even the bathroom offers a fantastic view.

You should lower your expectations a bit when it comes to the food. Prices are above average for the area, and the quality is mediocre. Critics mainly complain about the crab salad, which consists mainly of breading and leaves, and the watery cocktails. The Pad See Ew, however, is better. The green curry is praised for its sauce, the chicken less so. The coffee, on the other hand, receives consistently positive reviews. My tip: Don't order anything too simple, just have a coffee and enjoy the view. The best time to come is in the late afternoon, and you can optionally stay until sunset.
