Jun Hom
Mae Nam, Thailand

Jun Hom’s appeal begins with a straightforward combination: freshly prepared Southern Thai food and a beachside setting. The open-air restaurant keeps the focus on local flavours, with crab and coconut curry a particularly well-regarded expression of the kitchen’s style. Meals are cooked to order, so this is somewhere to settle in rather than rush through. It belongs in an itinerary for the quality of its cooking and its easy relationship with the coast.
