The standard fish and rice dishes available at the town's resorts will keep you sated, but it'd be a shame to miss out on some of the upscale dining, as well as great local seafood restaurants, that are available in town. Most bungalows on Samet have their own dining areas for inexpensive, fresh seafood (don't miss the locally caught squid and cuttlefish, which are barbecued on skewers). Every day around sunset on Ao Hin Khok and Ao Phai beaches, tables are set up under twinkling lights for big seafood barbecues brimming with the day's catch.
The somewhat inevitably named (yes, it's named after the TV show) Baywatch Bar (tel. 08182-67834, mobile) on Ao Wong Deuan does great kebabs and Thai dishes, as well as reasonable Western fare. In Ao Pai just south of Had Sai Khaew, Naga Bar (tel. 03864-4035) is a popular hangout and serves a fine menu of local eats and tasty baked items. All restaurants on the island can turn into all-night party affairs depending on the crowd -- and the amounts of alcohol consumed.
