The Place Samui
About
Found on Koh Samui, The Place Samui sits in Hua Thanon on the island's south-eastern coast, at 407/16 M00 1 Hua Thanon Koh Samui Thailand.
Hua Thanon lies within easy reach of Lamai, Chaweng and Bophut, so the main resort strips of Koh Samui are a straightforward drive away. Diners have given the restaurant a 3.8 out of 5 average from 12 reviews, a modest score from a small sample. Its own site, theplacesamui.com, carries further detail. The kitchen serves Thai food, the island's everyday cooking.
Thai cooking balances sweet, sour, salty and spicy notes, with fish sauce, shrimp paste, coconut milk, lemongrass and chillies doing much of the work and rice as the staple. Hua Thanon itself sits south of Lamai, one of the island's recognised beach areas.
Koh Samui's waters hold coral reefs, whale sharks and dugongs, and sea turtles nest on several of its beaches. Bang Rak and Choeng Mon are among the other Koh Samui areas within reach of this stretch of coast. Maenam, Lipa Noi and Bophut sit further along the same shoreline, so a meal here can be folded into a circuit of the island's coastal villages.
