A small, family-run restaurant boasting an extensive menu of vegan and vegetarian versions of Thai favourites. The Dow family run both this restaurant and an almost identical one across the street which serves the original versions of the dishes from a separate kitchen. I had the Tom Ka Curry with seitan pieces and we tried the deep fried potato balls and it was delicious and so affordable.

This is the perfect place for a hearty brunch, and if you want a break from Thai food. This brightly decorated, french cafe has an incredible selection to choose from, from french toast to smoked salmon bagels and even an eggs benedict croissant!? This is a great place to fuel yourself before a long day snorkelling in Maya Bay. 

Just around the corner from the infamous Backpacker Bar, is this Indian restaurant nestled down a side-street. The staff were so friendly and the food was delicious. I had a paneer masala and a peshwari naan and would definitely recommend.
