Opening hours are not published, so plan a visit around the main meal times. Photographs of the premises are not displayed online.
Thai cooking uses fish sauce, shrimp paste, coconut milk, lemongrass and chillies, with rice as the staple, so the buffet draws on those familiar flavours. Thailand's southwest monsoon brings rain from around May to October, followed by a drier, cooler period, which shapes the best months to visit. Across the year the island stays warm and humid, so loose, light clothing works well for most of the day.
