Baan Suan Lung Khai
Taling Ngam, Thailand
Baan Suan Lung Khai offers a more personal introduction to island cooking, welcoming diners into a garden house on a coconut plantation. Set menus follow seasonal ingredients and local seafood, with dishes arriving from an open kitchen onto a wooden veranda. The emphasis is on flavour and the day’s produce rather than elaborate presentation. For travellers staying in a polished resort, this is a rewarding change of pace and a strong reason to explore the southwest.
