Ao Leuk Restaurants (Chabalay, Baan Talay)
10° 4.3′ N · 99° 50.3′ E · approximate
Two resort restaurants overlook Ao Leuk's bright-blue bay, close enough to the moorings that diners sometimes spot reef sharks from the deck.
Practical
Position approximate: the OpenStreetMap Ao Leuk beach, not the individual restaurants. Koh Tao Complete Guide: Chabalay serves Thai and Western food and fresh-caught fish for breakfast, lunch and dinner, with unobstructed views of Ao Leuk and occasional reef sharks visible from the deck; Baan Talay, part of a family-run resort and yoga retreat in the remote south-east, serves sour curry, homemade baked goods and sourdough, with views to Ang Thong. See Ao Leuk Moorings for the boat side.
Best for
A meal ashore from the Ao Leuk moorings
Season
Most useful in the SW monsoon (May–Oct), when the east coast is sheltered
