Where to Eat on Koh Phangan
From Thai street food to wood-fired pizza and vegan bowls.
For a small island, Koh Phangan eats remarkably well. Years of long-stay travellers have left it with everything from proper Thai street food to wood-fired pizza, Middle Eastern mezze and some of Thailand’s best vegan cafés. A few places to start.
Thai & street food
The garden cafés around Sri Thanu and the Thong Sala night market are where to graze on grilled seafood, curries and mango sticky rice for next to nothing. Browse the full list under Cafés & Restaurants.
International favourites
Craving a change? Monnalisa near Haad Rin does wood-fired pizza and pasta, and bakeries like Croissant & Ko turn out proper European pastries and coffee.
Vegan & healthy
The plant-based scene is a destination in itself — Pure Vegan Heaven and the bright brunch spots like Mimi’s Café draw queues for smoothie bowls and raw desserts. More in the wellness guide.
Where to base yourself
Thong Sala and Sri Thanu have the densest cluster of good kitchens, so foodies should read the where-to-stay guide with that in mind. Pair a beach day from our beaches guide with a sunset dinner and you’ve cracked the island.
