Roadside restaurant, great fruit shakes and tasty Thai dishes, including several more unusual kinds. Consistently good food over several visits. Extremely good value for money and pleasant staff.

Great value for money and I would rate it excellent if only they had cold beer and paid just slightly more attention to their service. Food is great and that is what made us come back a number of times during our stay in Koh Lanta.

Great tasting Thai food, big portions. Nice outdoor setting with orchids and song birds. It was the best tasting food we found on the island, and the best value too. Enjoy!!!

Having been to several Thai restaurants over the last few weeks (alot of those on Koh Lanta) and had a variety of dishes that have the same name but taste and look completely different, this is exactly what you expect (or better) and great pricing. The portions are massive, and not just lots of sauce as we've found elsewhere with... More

The service is very efficient, honest and nice. I have been in the island for several months and Krua is the place I have repeated the most; The food is great with big portions and very good prices. The first one I recommend in the island for Thai food.

Kritsana Kitchen is, if you like great Thai pork, the Mecca (oh dear) for said dishes. Yes, they produce some really good value Thai and some ok European dishes, but the baked and crispy pork dishes are some of the best I have ever tasted world wide. The lady who runs it works hard to ensure quality and does very... More

This small, mostly Thai food restaurant has an unusual machine to cook the pizza - kind of a plastic dome with a heater on top. The result was the top is cooked, but the crust is soggy and only 1/2 cooked - add to that a sickly, sweet sauce makes for a terrible pizza.

If you're staying in Long Beach or passing through on the main road, this is worth a stop for cheap and delicious food. My wife and I loved this place and went back everyday. All of the dishes we tried were excellent. The staples (fried rice, pad thai, etc) were some of the best we've had.

This is the number one thai restaurant on Koh Lanta. I eat here almost every day when I stayed at Lanta for 6 month. The food is very tasty and the prices are still low even if the prices goes up the last year. The most dishes cost around 60 baht.
