Koh Lanta Restaurant & Bars, Nightlife Krabi Thailand

Lanta Island:

Sea View Restaurant

Built on a wooden pier over the water, "Sea View Restaurant" is a favourite place to eat out, when you are in the small village of Saladan. This restaurant on water is a gourmet’s delight. Great Thai Food and really attractive prices are the big draw. While tasting the exotic dishes, you can enjoy the lovely scenes unfolding before your eyes along the coastline and across the waters. The island opposite and the various types of boats cruising among the islands provide enchanting sights.

Saladan has a few seafood restaurants on the sea near the ferry pier as well as a Swiss bakery.

Koh Lanta Nightlife.
Easy bars on the beach are the main feature of Koh Lanta by night. Lanta is not known for big nights in bars but more by star gazing on the beaches and watching the squid fisherman boat's lights out to sea

Eat
Ko Lanta has a wide variety of restaurants, the kind that most visitors travel to Thailand for: beach-front locations serving delicious and inexpensive Thai and seafood dishes. Eateries line the beaches in front of the bungalows and no visitor to Lanta will starve from lack of variety or interesting places to dine.

• Sunset Restaurant is a very small restaurant on Klong Dao beach close to D.R. Lanta Resort beside Mooks bar. The Thai food is the best on Klong Dao beach and cheap too. Real Thai style eating with the tables directly on the sand and no decorations at all but a nice view and cool breeze from the sea. And the food... mmm.
  
  
• Abdul's Pancakes is a cr?pe stall run from a motorcycle sidecar. You can most often find him in Moo 1, Saladan, opposite Lanta Diver when the boat divers come back (around 15:00). His chocolate and banana cr?pe and his chicken cr?pe are especially recommended.
  
  
• Cook Kai is just across the street from Klong Nin Beach. Wholly built of wood and lovely decorated, it offers a spacious open dining area and bar. Run by the cook and his brothers and sisters, their Thai food, which has a bit of an extraordinary note, is probably the best you can get in the area and beyond. Go for the daily specials announced on the board at the entrance! Cook Kai also offers thai cooking classes.
  
  
• River Restaurant is a friendly family operation located on the beach just south of Narima Resort. They have a delicious menu...lots of Thai dishes and a few western ones as well. The Phad Thai is excellent. It is very popular with families and the owner's children often play with tourist kids
  
  
• Thai Cuisine is a long-established Koh Lanta favorite. It is located in Phra Ae just south of the Opium night club. The menu features a wide selection of wonderful Thai dishes and Chinese as well. The "special" spring roll is excellent. There is bar service and a small artisan boutique. Say hello to the chef/owner, Somkuan...he's a great guy.

Drink

• Chalee BARley's - a friendly bar/restaurant/guesthouse on Klong Nin Beach. This is a great place to meet other mellow travelers, and if you are stuck without accommodation, you can always crash on the floor.
• Mooks bar - on Klong Dao beach between D.R. Lanta Bay Resort and Sun Fun & Sea Bungalows, and a good spot to relaxing with a drink on the beach, listen to some reggae, and maybe watch sports on TV. Mook himself is a person worth meeting.
• Oscar's Bar - driftwood terrace on the beach.
• Where Else / Feeling Bar - [10] Indian & Thai food, in a clean, friendly, quiet, and above all relaxed atmosphere.
