Phuket is well known for its seafood restaurants and the Kan Eang 2 in Chalong is certainly a “must see” attraction. Not only is the delicious food worth a visit but also the stunning view on the bay where dozens of boats are anchored.
Directly on the beach you will find the spacious restaurant just a few hundred meters north of the Chalong Pier on the way to Phuket Town. The menu is comprehensive and to make a choice is difficult. Lobster or prawns, fish or squid, fresh vegetables, or perhaps you prefer chicken or pork; at Kan Eang 2 you can find anything in every variety. A cold beer or a nice wine makes your seafood dinner perfect. For your entertainment you can enjoy well known Western music from a two-person live band.
Even if you stay in Patong it is worth the 30-minute ride to escape the hustle and bustle. It’s a pleasant experience to dive into a typical Thai seafood restaurant on the beach. You can’t hear any cars or motorbikes, there is always a slight breeze from the sea coming, and the price for the food is decent with 80- 180 Baht per dish being the average. Highly recommended is the snapper in sweet & sour sauce and Yam Pla Dok Fu (fried catfish with mango salad and cashew nuts).
