- Favorite place in Thailand!
Just to set expectations: you should come here for the atmosphere, location, and the extensive menu, not if you are looking for cheap eats. It's a beautifully crafted oasis, not a Thai food court. The portions are very generous and contain high quality ingredients. ..... Nestled within some of the most peaceful and serene environments in Thailand, this restaurant, attached to some of the coolest accommodations on the island, is a must see for anyone planning on being in the south. If you want an escape from the chaos of the world (or even of Haad Rin), this is the ultimate. Even the walk over the mountain from Haad Yuan adds to the feeling of being in another place, totally isolated and pristine. Definitely make sure to wander around the resort. It is masterfully constructed and nothing seems out of place. The restaurant itself is large and beautiful. Right on the beach, you get the perfect breeze coming through as Bonobo and Thievery Corporation set the mood. The staff seem like the happiest people ever and it shows in the service. The menu is similar to a lot of places in Thailand in that they do a little of everything, and it just seems to go on and on, page after page, but that is where the similarity ends. The difference here is that it's not just the same stuff you see everywhere else or a similar dish done with different combinations of ingredients. Apart from the Thai mainstays (which they do VERY well. The Massaman is some of the best), they have so many delicious and culturally encompassing options. From the Dahl, to the Hummus Wrap, HUGE miso soup, hearty breakfest, an unending number of drinks and smoothies, a gigantic dessert case and even a customized menu for those doing a detox/fast at the resort, it is like nothing we have seen anywhere else. I'm pretty sure you can't find the menu online because seeing it is part of the experience ;) I think I have made my point. Just go if you have the option. You won't regret it.
