Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Love this place, the setting, the food, the people. Amazing. Went once this year and tried to book again and was full so missed out - says it all brilliant place. Next year will book earlier. See you then.

Very good food in an incredibly beautiful beach scenery as the sun sets. For starters I ate a chicken sandwich, which was the best in a long time.

One of the three or four beachside restaurants in this area just a short walk up the beach if turning right out of the Beyond Resort. Great food and service.

We stay at Beyond Resort and been visiting Krua Thai many times in past years. Krua Tai is really great place to eat and looking forward to sunset. You can walk over the canal in low tide and in high tide it can be challenging...to go over. So check the tide calendar. If you miss the tide and are facing 1.5 meter water in front of you they provide transportation to Beyond Resort, but ask before hand. Happy Hour is from 5 to 7 and all cocktail's are 100 THB each. Menu is extensive and you can order fresh squid, fish, big prawns with any variation you like. Our favorite is steamed squid with lime and pepper. What a feast. Go and try and you are not disappointed.More

Amazing food really tasty thai dishes. Prawns were always great, prawn penang was my fave at our favorite thai beach restaurant, went back 4 times. Everything we ever ordered from drinks to puddings were lovely and great value with a beautiful view thrown in. So...many average beach restaurants about but this one is so lovely.More

We visited Krua 4 times during our stay. It was an easy walk from the Mai resort, but we saw many catch tuk tuks/taxi’s to this restaurant. The food was amazing with flavours to die for. It was reasonably priced and they catered well for...our children. When it wasn’t raining we sat down close to the beach, when it did rain, we sat in the undercover area. We drank many cocktails here too. We enjoyed the variety of food choices and we were happy with the cleanliness of the kitchen. We enjoyed the tamarind soft shell and prawns, satay prawns, chicken wings, bbq prawns, pad see ew and the variety of desserts ranging from fried banana to pineapples and Nutella crepes. We will return, we were very happy with Krua, the staff are amazing.More

We went here after reading reviews, but it was quite a way from where we were staying. We got a taxi and didn't know what to expect but we were blown away by the beach front dining and amazing food. We missed sunset but eating...with our feet in the sand and waves breaking on the beach made it a really special meal. You have to want to go here as it isn't walking distance from most of Khao Lak, but it was probably our favourite meal of the holiday.More

I don't often add reviews on TA however I've eaten here twice in the past week and the food was fabulous. On both occasions our family or four were really welcomed. The second time however we reserved a table and pre-ordered 4 king prawns which...the chef cooked two different ways and was absolutely well worth doing. We ate during the two visits: Pomelo salad with prawns (amazing) Chicken and cashew nuts (good) Whole fried fish with garlic and black pepper (great) BBQ squid (tasty) BBQ king prawns (Def recommend pre-order) Soft shell crab with tamarind sauce (superb) Prawns in tamarind sauce (also superb) Smoothies were really tasty too. The restaurant is a little pricier than others but this is so worth paying a few extra baht for - the restaurant is clean, tables on the beach are lovely, staff and friendly and welcoming (they will order you a taxi back to your hotel), toilets are spotless and they actually take care of the beach surrounding the area too - there was very little rubbish around unlike some of the other beach bars we visited in our week in Khao lak. I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone.More

Fourth year that we take almost all our dinners in this family restaurant on the beach during our stay at Bansag village. Real Thai food so well cooked, kindness of all the team and probably the most beautiful sun set of the Bangsak beach. So...if you like eating fresh well cooked Thaï food, the feet in the sand in front of a marvelous sun set, go to Krua Thaï restaurant 😎More

We found this wee gem of a place, it is slightly off the beaten track, just how we like it. The stroll along the beach was worth it in it's self. The location, decor and sunset, amazing, the food didn't disappoint, easily up there with...the best we have had, and we are all foodies. The prices are also high value for money. Thanks you.More
