Drift Wood Koh Jum — Restaurant in Krabi Province

Additionally, they were out of mangos and coconuts which is quite a bummer for a thai restaurant.

That being said, i refrained from giving only 4 stars because this is probably the best food we had on this island. Very authentic, penang curry with just the right amount of caffir lime leaves, prawns on point, and quite ok spring rolls which is...
