Kitt & Food

Ko Samet


Better than most of the beachfront restaurants on this popular beach, this is a romantic place for dinner, with tables almost lapped by the waves. Don't plough too deep into the phonebook of a menu – seafood is the speciality here. Various fresh fish (mostly farmed) are arrayed; pick one and decide how you want it done.
