The small Khaothong Hill rises above the coastal road near Ao Thalane in Krabi. The Khaothong Hill café-restaurant offers breathtaking views of the islands of Phang Nga Bay, one of Thailand's most beautiful bays. It's lovely during the day, but at sunset it's simply magical! Once you reach the top, there are several areas: a viewing platform, an open-air terrace with tables right by the sea, and one floor above with even better views, as well as a small, air-conditioned room. You can enter without food or drinks after purchasing the entrance ticket. However, most visitors come to Khaothong Hill for a drink. A portion of the entrance fee is refunded with each purchase. The menu offers international dishes like burgers and pizza, as well as Thai specialties. It's a bit more expensive than a restaurant without a view, but still affordable. In my opinion, the food isn't anything extraordinary, but the view is fantastic and the food is decent. The pastries are delicious, especially the almond croissant. This is one of the best places in Krabi to enjoy the sunset. If you're planning to go for sunset, keep in mind that it closes shortly after dark. The place is becoming increasingly popular and attracting more and more visitors, especially thanks to the recent social media campaign. But it's definitely worth a visit!

Open from 10:00 AM to 7:30 PM. Upon arrival, access to the restaurant via the street is not possible. Please park in the parking lot and purchase a ticket for 50 THB per person (including a 30 THB discount on food and drinks). A shuttle service will return you to the parking lot after your visit. The motorcycles parked above belong to the staff. Children under 1.10 m tall are admitted free of charge.
