Very laid back beachside restaurant (part of a resort but don't let that stop you). Excellent thai and western cuisine with many ultra-health choices. The Atmanjai spa is fabulous and gets booked but get booked out quickly.

There are 4-5 restaurants on the hillside with sweeping views of the bay. Great for sundowners on the way home. Not recommended for small children. There is a 50ft drop off the deck area! (never been known to happen but a bit stressful if you have young ones!)

Sightseeing
Hire a speedboat (not a Long Tail - very noisy and lie very low in the water - not recommended) and get them to take you to a few snorkelling spots around Ko Racha. There are a couple of bays with beachside restaurants they can drop you for a couple of hours. The sand is squeaky it's so fine! One of our highlights when visiting Phuket.
