Sunset draws close on the restaurant sands

Oawthong White Sand Beach, Phang Nga

Tuesday, February 5, 2008
Best Restaurant of 2008 contender

Telephone: 081 8950380

Open: Daily 10am-10pm

Address: Foreshore close to Cape Pakarang, Phang Nga

Style: Holiday beach restaurant

Price range: Standard prices, but exceptional considering the surroundings. Beer is usually a good guide to price and a large Singa costs 90 baht here, with a small version half that. ''Soup'' here sometimes proves to be curry. A green chicken curry is priced at 80 baht with a prawn curry at 100 baht.

Specialty: Seafood is plainly what most diners order, although pasta dishes, salads, sandwiches and desserts are all part of the mix at a restaurant that has been operating for seven years.

What Phuketwan says: This restaurant is one good reason to head off Phuket to eat. There is nothing like it on the island. The tables and chairs, some under salas, are spread out at considerable distance so that each group of diners may enjoy the serene beauty of the beach. At night, the lights of fishing boats bob like fireflies on the horizon. The sand is every bit as white as they say. Lights strung through the strand of pines add a touch of fairyland. The waiters cover so much distance here that they just about need camels to survive. When one of our group asked how we could possible attract the attention of someone who was so far away, a companion had the answer: ''Send up a flare.'' Nothing on the island quite compares.It is worth going a long way to enjoy this kind of experience.

How to find it: Take the turnoff for the Sarojin boutique resort on Cape Pakarang and drive past it to the well-signposted entrance the the restaurant. It is to the north of the resort.

Parking: Plenty close to the beach.
