Excellent dining experience, a hidden gem absolutely not to be missed. The fresh oysters from Surat Thani were exceptionally good and very tastefully presented with their condiments. The mixed seafood spicy salad was an explosion of taste and colour. And the best soft shell crabs we've tasted!

Wow wow wow is all l can say.Laoleu Cafe & Restaurant is a hidden gem of Khao Lak but everyone who goes here will return or tell their friends. The design of the restaurant is so cool using recycled wood and bamboo materials. There is a board walk from the entrance leading to a deck open area then an undercover area. The restaurant overlooks a small river that adds to the ambiance of the whole place the setting is like you are in the jungle very peaceful.The menu is a mix of Thai and western food but even westerners can try the Thai as it is not spicy. You can ask how spicy you want your food. The menu is very extensive and suits all tastes .The drink's menu is also big from non alcoholic to alcoholic and dessert is good also with a larger variety of ice creams. The service is so personal they all can speak English and will take the time to talk about the menu. Noot and May are the owners they are a young couple who have traveled and used their experiences to design the restaurant style and create the menu for the restaurant of their dreams.oh and their coffee is great also. I highly recommend Laoleu Cafe & Restaurant for lunch or dinner you will be surprised by the quality. Five Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
