3 Great Restaurants in Chaloklum and Haad Mae Haad

Koh Ma Beach Resort's open-air onsite restaurant serves Thai, seafood and Western dishes with views of the sea and some of Koh Phangan's most beautiful sunsets. The restaurant shares the view with the aptly-named Sunset Bar right on the sand and features a large terrace and lacquered teak wood interiors. Many come to the spot just before sunset for gorgeous views of the beach and the Andaman Sea.

Sunshine is a friendly, family-run restaurant in Koh Phangan, just outside Haad Mae Haad Beach. It's a great place to enjoy homemade pizzas and pasta, thanks to its open-sided and roomy dining space. There's also a selection of affordable yet authentic Thai food if you want to try some local fare. 

Wang Sai Restaurant is part of a resort of the same name. With teakwood fittings and a predominantly Thai menu, it's a great option for a casual meal by the sea. The restaurant is within a 10-minute walk of Mae Haad Beach in Koh Phangan.
