Thaidurm Restaurant

Thaidurm is the kind of unfussy Thai place Koh Lipe regulars point you to when you ask where they actually eat. It sits just off Walking Street toward Sunrise Beach — look for the blue plastic chairs spilling onto the lane — and rolls from lunch into late night, opening around 12pm and serving until 11pm. The menu sticks to crowd-pleasing southern Thai flavors and simple seafood cooked to order. Expect wok-fired classics done right — chicken cashew nut, mixed vegetables with oyster sauce, a comforting seafood hot pot — alongside whatever came in fresh that day. Portions are generous, flavors are punchy, and prices stay friendly for Lipe. Swing by for an easy dinner after a swim at Sunrise or fuel up before a night wander down Walking Street. The crowd is a mix of island staff and travelers who’ve learned not to overcomplicate things here: grab a table, order a few plates to share, and let the kitchen do its thing.
