Bang Po Seafood

Ko Samui


A meal at Bang Po Seafood is a test for the taste buds. It’s one of the only restaurants that serves traditional Ko Samui fare: recipes call for ingredients such as raw sea urchin roe, baby octopus, sea water, coconut and local turmeric, served in a delightfully local setting that spills onto the beach.
