guide to surin and bangtao beaches by the people who live here

Recommended Dining in Surin and Bangtao

Nok & Joe's - Thai, North American, Barbeque

Surin - Bangtao Beach Road, Phuket

+66(0)76-279-6532

Formed in 1995 when Jo, a Canadian master log smith and Tsunami volunteer, met his Thai wife Nok. There is a saying; you can't see the wood for the trees. In this case you can't miss the restaurant for the wood. Locals often see beachcomber Jo returning from his afternoon walks laden with driftwood from which he fashions all manner of things. A family run restaurant offering food from Thai dishes to pizzas, burgers, pasta, BBQ as well as fresh seafood popular with tourists from the local hotels; Nok and Jo's offers full barbeque buffet twice a week. Resident singer / guitarist and even the occasional katoey (lady boy) show. Catch Jo in his cowboy hat and boots.

11:00 am - Late

 

Emmy's - Thai, Seafood

Bangtao Beach Road, Phuket

+66(0)84- 885-262   emmyrestaurant@gmail.com

Simply designed Emmy's is the reason many people come to Thailand. To eat authentic Thai and fresh seafood under a grass roof close by the beach. Popular with tourists staying in nearby resorts this family restaurant attracts an international crowd and is often heaving at first sitting.

11.00am to Late

 

Pesto - Indo-European

104 Bandon Cherngthalay Road

+66(0) 82-423-0184

10 minutes taxi's drive from Surin Beach this "foodie temple" shows great things happen when French trained executive chefs leave hotels to start up on their own. The décor is Spartan and, until recently, since the restaurant has no walls customers were forced to cluster together in the middle during rainstorms. The food is outstanding both in quality and in price. 5 star international cuisine at Thai roadside prices.

Lunch and Dinner

 

Sunset Café - Thai

Bandon Cherngthalay Road (next to Black Cat)

Phone No:

Situated not far from Pesto (above) is much loved by both Thais and ex-pats. Run by chef Pong and his brother (both formerly chefs in 5 star restaurants in Laguna) is another example of the good that happens when Thai chefs go-it-alone. Laguna's loss is our gain. Great Thai food at very reasonable prices.

Lunch and Dinner

 

Wine Connection - International

Bangtao Place, Cherngthalay, Phuket 8310

+66(0)76-326-137    www.wineconnection.co.th

Deepavali - Indian

Bangtao Place, Cherngthalay, Phuket 8310

+66(0)76-326-325

Located next to Wine Connection (above) this is the one place Brits and other Indian food lovers can get their "fix". Located in a Sports Bar - The Lounge in Bangtao Place this restaurant also offers Western fare including a large roast each Sunday (copies of the Daily Mail on the bar). Deepavali offers a full Indian menu including great Nan bread and vegetarian. One of the few Indian restaurants on the island to use fresh ingredients and offer something other than pre-prepared dog-food.
