Malaiwana Luxury Villas & Residences, Naithon Beach, Phuket, Thailand

• Eat
Small informal restaurants are situated literally on the sand for the length of Nai Thon Beach, and offer a relaxing meal at minimal cost. Food is either cooked in tents on the beach or in houses across the road. Tables and chairs are set up on the sand, and range from plastic outdoor settings to solid wooden settings with tablecloth. However, appearances can be deceiving, as the tackier looking restaurants often dish up the best meals.
Main courses start at around 70 baht, offering excellent value for money, but service can sometimes be slow, and orders confused if made in English.
