BAR NENA — Restaurant in Surat Thani Province

I visited Bar Nena and had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the desserts were enjoyable—especially the almond croissant, which was well-made, flaky, and had a nice balance of sweetness. If you're looking for a good pastry, this place delivers.

Even for Koh Phangan this was shockingly expensive and completely unjustifiable. A markup is expected in cafes, but this felt excessive, especially considering that a box of the same tea costs less than that. To put this into perspective, at a neighboring cafe, Nira's Bakery, you can get the exact same tea for half the price.
