Banana Bar Thai Restaurant
Banana Bar
A family-run Thai eatery on the main street of Sai Kaew Beach on Koh Samet. Despite its name, it is a restaurant, with curries cooked to order and good value, and it often has a queue.
Located on the main street of Sai Kaew Beach, this family-run eatery is operated by two women. Koi fish ponds sit to the left of the entrance, and the restaurant has only a few tables. Despite the name, it is a genuine Thai restaurant. The menu is short, but everything is cooked to order, and the red and green curries are the most praised. Spring rolls, fried shrimp, and house-made French fries are also popular choices. Prices are reasonable, and it ranked first among Thai restaurants on Koh Samet on TripAdvisor. It fills up quickly after 5:30 pm, so expect to wait at dinner. The spice level is authentic Thai heat, so let the staff know your preference when ordering.
