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

Come first for the view, then for the barbecue. Here you'll experience Ao Nang's most uncomplicated waterfront dining: al fresco seating overlooking the bay, fresh seafood grilled over charcoal, and a menu that caters to all tastes. Thai classics sit alongside Western dishes, so even the person in your group who can't handle spicy food will be satisfied.

Prices are mid-range, which is reasonable for a table right on the beach in this part of Krabi, but not exactly cheap. I recommend booking in advance for sunset rather than just showing up. From November to February, tables overlooking the bay are booked up long before nightfall, and expecting a front-row seat at 7 pm is rather optimistic. It's quieter at lunchtime if you just want to enjoy grilled fish and a sea breeze between boat trips. Beachwear is fine; no one checks.
