Restaurants

Apart from the good dining choices at the many resorts listed, here are a few more recommendations around the region: In the north end of Krabi Town, the Night Market (no phone), just off Utarakit riverside road, on Maharaj Soi 10, has good local specials such as deep-fried oysters and noodles. For good Western food, try Café Europa (tel. 07562-0407), at 1/9 Soi Ruamjit, Maharat Rd., a popular spot with local expats. In Ao Nang, the beachside tourist street is already turning into a mini-Patong, with heaps of neon-lit shops and storefront eateries: Try Ao Nang Cuisine (tel. 07569-5260) for good Thai fare, Navrang Mahal (no phone) for Indian, or Irish Rover (tel. 7563-7607) for continental cuisine. On Railay, all the beachside bars and bungalows serve good Thai and continental nosh.
