Had one of my best seafood experiences (ever) the other day.

Directions: We drove towards Phuket Town and then past Super Cheap. We took the first U-turn and then the second road to the left. Continued for about 5 minutes to the end. At the pier (Laem Hin) we got a long-tail to carry us the 3 minute ride to the floating Bang Mud restaurant (near Koh Maphrao).

Classic Thai look. Some plastic chairs on a wooden floater (avoid high-heels!). The fish is aliver and kicking in the nets surounding the place. Guaranteed fresh in other words. The 7 of us got 4 snappers (with various curry / chili sauces, try the 3 flavor sauce!), a crab yellow curry, steamed vegetables, 4 (huge) fried rice dishes, some streamed prawns and deep-fried shrimps. Oh, and 10 large Heinekens plus water and sodas. All in all around 3K baht.

Definitely well worth a visit if you’re a group of people. Maybe combined with a shopping trip to Phuket Town. Try to avoid the low tide though.
