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

Getting there is difficult enough, getting back is even harder. Drivers cancel rides booked through Grab, others demand exorbitant prices, and one couple ended up paying 700 baht for a driver to pick them up and wait for them. If this can't be arranged in advance, the staff will gladly connect you with a local driver who will bring you back for a fair price. After that, everything is straightforward.

The main draw is the panoramic view over the Krabi landscape, but the food isn't dependent on it. Prices are low. Prawn fritters and pineapple rice are frequently on the menu, as are fried rice and iced coffee, and the portions are generous rather than excessive. It's a cozy spot with a view, not a restaurant with a view that's been added on later.

The catch is the seating. The first row is small, so during peak hours you get crammed behind people with a better view. In the mornings, both problems are solved: cooler air, less crowding, and a free choice of table.
