For the record, we were staying at Salathai Resort and this was restaurant was on the beach at the end of our street, and we were on the way home from drinking on Bangala Rd, the staff were great, the location is great, the value is great but the food was average. There are a few restaurants clustered in this... More

Based on reviews on TA, went to this restaurant for dinner tonight. It was so, so. The crispy prawns, well, just batter, hardly any prawns to taste. The Pad Thai could have been a lot better, hardly any taste. Thought it was a bit pricey for the quality of the food. The waitress also seemed to be a bit bored... More

Have eaten @ Wai Thai twice during our current stay in Patong and whilst the location right on the beach and food continues to be great, this time the service was a let down. Mostly run by male staff who are all over you with service, tonight a female waitress knocked over one our kids orange fanta, spilling on the... More

We were on a mission to find this restaurant based on TripAdvisor. If you walk along the beach from Bangla Rd it is the last restaurant with pink chairs and table cloths. Excellent value for money, cost around $30 for 5 people with entrees, mains and drinks (1080thb). 100 baht cocktails and cheap beer! Friendly staff. Worth the walk! Only... More

We had difficulty finding this restaurant despite a number of attempts. Luckily we found the restaurant in time to have our last meal in patong. The food was wonderful and so cheap in comparison to our hotel. We had deep fried fish, king prawn green curry, seafood noodles and beer all for under £20. Just disappointed that we did not... More

On Patong beach with your feet in the sand. That's my idea of a great place to eat. The food is average definitely not bad but not fantastic either. The prices are good and the staff are good. We have been there 3 times now always going back for the beach outside dinning. Deep fried fish is good as well... More

Food is average to very good (try fish!) but the atmosphere is what it makes good. However, the hustlers are more irritating than in most of the Patong restaurants

Yes, it is hard to find due to the incorrect map location on Tripadvisor, however thanks to the instructions posted by Nev78990 and TravellingCat22, we found it easily. We found it easier just to walk on the beach until you get to the life guard lookout tower it is the last of the restaurants on the beach immediately under the... More

I searched for a few nights trying to find this place but when I found it wow! I was with 4 other people and we ordered about 10 meals including many cocktails and it was beyond amazing. I would return to Patong for the sole purpose of eating here. The only annoyance is the constant hassle of people trying to... More
