Midday
One kitchen, four kinds of lunch
Lunch means different things by day three of a holiday. Some days it's a Caesar salad and a fresh juice; some days a pressed sourdough panini; some days a bowl of spaghetti bolognese; and some days you just want what Thailand eats — a plate of pad kra pao over rice for 129฿. We cook all four, from one kitchen, all day.
Prices stay honest because this is still a Thai cafe at heart: our Thai plates run 129–179฿, western mains sit mostly between 199฿ and 289฿, and there's no beachfront markup — we're in Khlong Haeng, five minutes' walk from Nopparat Thara Beach.
Why here
Lunch that isn't an afterthought
Holiday lunch usually means whatever's nearest and priciest. We wanted the opposite: real cooking at Thai-cafe prices, whether you're after a crisp salad, a pressed panini or a proper plate of curry and rice. Everything is made to order until we close at 18:00 — there's no fixed "lunch hour" to miss.
It helps that we're a few minutes off the beachfront rather than on it. Same food, calmer room, gentler bill — and portions our guests keep calling huge.

Healthy, light and takeaway options
Eating lighter is easy: four fresh salads (tofu-avocado and tuna-egg at 239฿ up to shrimp-avocado at 279฿), cold-pressed juices, and 91+ vegetarian dishes and drinks across the menu. If lunch for you is fruit and granola, our smoothie bowls hold their own as a midday meal.
In a hurry — or heading back to the sand? Everything travels takeaway, and paninis in particular hold up well on a beach walk. Outside the lunch rush the cafe is also laptop-friendly; ask the team for the wifi.
The room
A cool table between the beach and the boat
Midday in Ao Nang is hot, and the water table earns its keep: a long stone table with water running down the middle into a fish pond, shade overhead, the garden just beyond. It's an easy place to sit out the heat of the day for an hour.
You'll find us inside Ao Nang Landmark with parking right outside — no booking, walk in any time between 8:00 and 18:00. Five minutes from Nopparat Thara Beach in one direction, the night market in the other.
