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

The fried crab meat with curry is a real hit, and the grilled shrimp are a close second. Rich, creamy, perfectly spiced curry and plump shrimp from the charcoal grill, their heads glistening with golden oil. Thai seafood is prepared with virtuosity here, and the kitchen works quickly as soon as you order.

What you won't find here is upscale service. It's a simple restaurant, not directly on the beach, and you won't be pampered. The server takes your order, brings the food, and that's it. The prices are mid-range and seem fair, as long as you don't order the more exotic dishes from the menu. Then the bill quickly adds up. If you value good service and a beautiful view, this isn't the place for you. But if you want to try the crab curry, this is the perfect spot.

The real problem is the waiting time. Thirty minutes is typical, an hour is not uncommon, and on a busy evening you end up standing around forever wondering if it's even worth the wait. I'd say most of the time it is, but you should know that beforehand.
