Food Scene
Right across the street from us -- in green/low season they are not always open though, but normally yes, except on Thursdays.
Fantastic beachfront location, low-key atmosphere, serving delicious, authentic, Thai food (seafood is their specialty) at reasonable prices.

Stunning setting, with tables right next to the ocean. Get there early for amazing sunset views while you eat/drink. Food is good too, though if you're in a hurry, best choose another place.

One of our all-time favorites. People come from all over the island for their fresh sea-food. The place is not fancy; but the food is delicious, and it right at the beach + nice staff.

A fixture on Bangpor Beach for many years. A friendly staff does a good job to accommodate everyone. They can be popular, so on busy nights, the service may be a tad slow, but the food is always good. Reportedly they also offer coffee and breakfast in the mornings, as well as dinner into the late evenings. Located just opposite of the 7-11 on the beach side.

One of the local Thai favorites because the food is always very reasonably priced, tasty and good service. Only open for breakfast and lunch though! Closet place to get to on the beach from the house.

This is a deeper, swimming beach area, less than 5 minutes by scooter or car from the house. You do not need to go in through this resort, just park along the road just after it turns left and walk to the beach. This is a public beach. There are a number of inexpensive food and drink shops in the areas. If you want a fancy meal, spa treatment or ritzy drink, Mimosa Resort offers that as well.
