Practical

Coordinate is the OSM-mapped Fisherman Restaurant. OSM also maps My BBq (9.75926, 98.41067), Aoxkhao Kwat Restaurant (9.76029, 98.40939), Siam Bar (9.75810, 98.41027) and Ballalow bar (9.76042, 98.41115) along the same stretch. Wikivoyage recommends Phayam Cabana at the far end of Buffalo Bay for tom yum gung and chicken massaman with views over the sea and mangroves, and Paceluce, an Italian snack bar next to Chomjam Resort at Ao Khao Kwai North (pasta, salads, coffee; closes 5pm). Most places are seasonal and simple. Land at the beach.
