“ Best Thai food on the island. The buffet start at 7pm. The owner is very friendly. Every ingredients is from her own garden, so you know it’s organic. If you want to do Thai food tasting, this is the place to go. You get to try many different Thai food at once. The price is very affordable (300 THB/person) and the atmosphere is very chill. 5 stars for this restaurant. ”
“ Wonderful home cooked Thai food with quality ingredients rather than some of the standard restaurant stuff. Freshly prepared and cooked with love. The flavours are amazing. Definitely the best massaman curry we have had. A great find and worth a visit for the fresh food as well as the amazing views. The lady that runs it also does cooking classes which we have yet to try. Unfortunately we need to leave tomorrow otherwise it would be on our "to do" list. ”

After Dinner we directly booked the cooking class for the next day which was a super fun experience cooking with the owner “mama”, all the fresh ingredients and the beautiful view. Would absolutely recommend 10/10! ”

“ We had an all-you-can-eat experience at Sun Moon Restaurant, which was 300 baht per person, with a 500 baht option for seafood. The owner and host were very courteous and friendly. She prepared fresh curries and soup for us and engaged in a lovely conversation. We tried the red and green curry, followed by some Penang curry. All of them were great, but the highlight was their Tom Kha Gai soup—it was absolutely delicious. As we enjoyed our meal, the owner played some Pakistani songs at the bar and even danced with us. We had a wonderful time, and the food was fantastic. I would definitely love to visit again! ”
