Beachcomber Restaurant @ Lanta Castaway — Restaurant in Krabi Province

The food was a symphony of flavors, but the service hit a few sour notes. Upon arrival, we weren’t greeted, our table seemed just as surprised as we were to have company. After clearing it ourselves, we waited ten minutes for a menu that never materialized, eventually fetching one from the bar ourselves.

As others mention it is a bit more expensive but with that you get a cleaner and more comfortable setting. When traveling with kids especially it is nice to find a clean and easily accessible toilet! Happy hour is from 5 to 7 with...
