Kati Culinary

Kati Culinary on Lonely Beach does Thai cooking with more finesse than the typical island kitchen. The curries use fresh coconut milk — you can taste the difference — and the menu rotates with whatever the morning market delivered. Expect dishes in the 120-200 baht range. The dining room is small and often full by 7pm, so show up early or grab a seat at the bar. Regulars swear by the massaman curry and the green papaya salad with soft-shell crab.
