They welcome both locals and foreigners alike. I recommend the beef ribs soup, garlic & pepper calamari, curries, and stir-fries. If you are not used to spicy foods, please let them know.

The local fisherman and sea gypsies sell fresh seafood, daily catches, and other souvenirs products here. You can go for a stroll, choose your own seafood and walk across to the restaurant and they will cook the seafood according to your liking. Be sure to bargain here and you will experience the local culture. It's quite touristy but also fun. Try to negotiate at least half price from the display price tag and see how you go!

Rock Salt is the popular beachside restaurant at THE NAI HARN hotel overlooking the Andaman Sea. The location inspires lazy breakfasts, long lunches, extended sunset happy hours, and indulgent evening dining affairs, all enjoyed as time slows to the rhythm of the rolling waves. The Naiharn also has a poolside happy hour hang-out area with a stunning view.

You can rent a longtail boat for a day or half a day to go explore the islands around. Koh Kaew Pitsadan is a temple you see from Promthep Viewpoint. You can go around it or on the island to explore. If you'd like to go snorkel, on a quiet beach just let the boat driver know. You can also prepare a cooler with packed lunch, ice, drinks and spend the day outdoors. Be sure to pack sunscreen, hats and mosquito repellant!
