One day the Hard Rock, then it's the Rim Haad. The Hard Rock Cafe at least lists prices in the menu. The Rim Haad does not. Why is this? Well, there can really be no good reason. It's certainly true that some items will be more expensive some days than others, but that's a problem many restaurants solve with stickers in the menu, or a blackboard. To not list prices is a no-no. But we sit by the seaweedy shore under salas, wondering whether we will be charged the same price as the other customers. The food is ok, and the ambience pleasant enough until the television set is turned on at full volume, drowning out whatever hope there was of relaxing by the seaside for a couple of hours. When it came, the bill was higher than expected.

How to find it: Head for Koh Sireh and you will find the Rim Haad near the Island Hopper departure point, within a few kilometres of Phuket City.

Parking: Along the street.
