Still, the restaurant has much going for it, not the least of which are its stunning ocean views—be sure to reserve early so that you can get a seat on the outdoor terrace.
Time Out "Housed within traditional two-story teak houses with terraces that look out to the sea. Big wooden tables and heftily portioned plates make Baan Rim Pa a familyfriendly choice." Full review
