กะทิ คูลินารี่
A well-regarded Thai restaurant on the main road of Klong Prao Beach that makes its curry pastes in-house from a family recipe; the panang and duck curries are the most praised, and it also runs cooking classes.
Kati Culinary is on the main road of Klong Prao Beach, across from the Centara Tropicana resort, and is one of the island's most reliable Thai restaurants. All curries use curry paste made fresh to a family recipe. Panang curry and duck curry get the most praise, and lemongrass fried chicken, garlic-pepper prawns and mango sticky rice are also often mentioned. Curries and stir-fries can be made vegetarian with tofu. Behind the restaurant is a dedicated cooking classroom, with classes priced at 1,500 baht per person. Prices are higher than at the island's small eateries, about 200 to 400 baht per person, so book ahead for dinner in peak season.
