ร้านเจ๊ยาแอบแซ่บ2

Jeh Ya Aeb Saeb 2 is a local Thai restaurant on Lonely Beach — the "2" means it's the second branch, which usually signals the first one was popular enough to expand. The menu is heavy on Isaan dishes: som tum, laab, nam tok. Expect to pay 60-100 baht per plate. This is where the island's Thai workers eat on their breaks. The portions are generous, the chili doesn't hold back, and the beer is ice-cold. No English menu — point at what other tables are having or use Google Translate.
