Most of the food when it arrived was nice. They obviously lost our order ( we had ordered a whole fish) and when the fish finally arrived (the two and a half hour wait is no exaggeration) it looked as if someone had gone to the market and brought a dried fish and reconstituted it! The other meals that arrived... More

This cooking class was worth every cent! Food was fresh and absolutely delicious. The chef spoke fluent english, was informative and provided us with lots of notes to take home. We cooked three dishes, plus made our own curry paste. Choices were flexible as only two of us were taking the class. I'm vegetarian and he was more than happy... More

We ate here several times during our two week stay in Ko Lanta, and every time the food was delicious. When you walk into the restaurant there isn't always someone there to greet you right away but we never waited long. The service isn't the fastest but they are very nice and polite, and most important of all - the... More

Great spot to grab a drink/food and duck out of the heat, while still having a great view of the beach. Their prices are a bit high for the area, but it is good quality.

We were in Lanta for 10 days, so we had a chance to eat out in many different places. Roi Thai was highly recommended, so we had a lot of expectations. Well, that was a mistake. We arrived there very early (before 7pm), and were offered a table right in the middle of the restaurant. We asked the manager for... More

Visiting Roi Thai for dinner was a very disappointing experience The restaurant was reasonably busy when we arrived with plenty of staff appearing to wait on the tables. However no-one greeted us so instead we found our way to a small 'bench' table looking out to sea. A lovely spot to see the gorgeous view but a spot that inevitably... More

We were lucky to get a table, this place is busy... The food was great, first time we had fish fillet with herb sauce and duck with honey and orange. Second time we had paneng curry with duck and fried pork with thai bellpepper, also very good.
