Ploy Talay — Restaurant in Ko Samet

A Seafood Delight!

We recently dined at Ploy Talay Restaurant, and it was an outstanding experience! The restaurant offers an impressive selection of fresh seafood and delicious Thai dishes that truly delighted our taste buds. Each dish was bursting with flavor, and you could really tell the ingredients were top-notch.

One of the highlights was the bucket cocktails, which were not only refreshing but also beautifully presented. They made for the perfect accompaniment to our meal. Additionally, the service was impressively fast, ensuring we didn’t have to wait long for our food, which is always a plus!

The prices at Ploy Talay are very reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the overall experience.

Another standout feature of our visit was the fire performance, which was simply the best I’ve ever seen! The performers were incredibly skilled, and the show added an exciting vibe to the evening. I highly recommend making a reservation in advance to secure a good spot for the fire performance, which starts at 8 PM – you won’t want to miss it!

Overall, Ploy Talay Restaurant is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to enjoy great seafood, tasty Thai food, and unforgettable...

I arrived in Koh Samed at 4pm. I went to the Sai-kaew beach directly and started looking for a place to stay. Most beach-front hotels/guest houses are expensive(2000b for a double room but single use/one night); but in Ploy, the old lady in reception gave a good offer, around 40% cheaper than its neighbors. So I took it, and it was the beginning of my nightmare.||||Firstly, as it also runs two bars, it is extremely noisy at night. The outdoor bar closes at 3 am so before that, I heard loud techno craps every single minute in my room. Secondly, as its restaurant conducts a fire show every evening, I can smell a strong diesel smell in their rooms everyday. Last and the worst, hot water and a/c fail to work properly. I actually paid a room with a/c and hot water but couldn't have them worked properly. I made complaints to the reception, but nothing was improved.||||I moved to another guest house when I found the balcony door cannot be completely locked at the second night. From a solo female traveler's perspective, it is not a safe place to stay as people might invade the room...
