Directions

Why go, and how to do it well

Tucked into a residential street in Krabi Town, this intimate venue is something genuinely unusual — a bar and restaurant operating out of Ae and Shoi's family home, where the décor, atmosphere, and personal touches make it feel less like a night out and more like being welcomed into someone's living room. It has developed a loyal following among visitors who discover it, often returning multiple times during the same trip.

The food is cooked fresh by Ae herself, who takes time to speak with guests about the dishes she prepares. The atmosphere is consistently described as beautiful and unhurried, with a setting that feels carefully considered rather than commercial. The family's warmth and attentiveness appear to be central to the experience, with many visitors noting it became their regular spot while staying in Krabi Town.

Outstanding place. Ae and her family have created something truly special here. Ae makes all dishes herself and likes to come and speak to as many customers as possible about the dishes. We came 3 times during our 5 nights in Krabi and were greeted like old friends. On all evenings, all of the guests started chatting to each other, creating a really special atmosphere. The food is phenomenal - the prawn dumplings and Penang curry with mashed potato were highlights for me. Make sure to go on your first night so you can return.

This became our local while my husband and I were staying in Krabi as it was just beside our hotel. Food was cooked fresh and very tasty. The family made us feel welcome from day 1, that’s what made us go back. The decor and atmosphere was to our taste and as a bonus we got to listen to live music. Their cat took a shine to us and decided to sit with us all the time. Please visit here a it’s s hidden gem

This is our second time here, and we absolutely love it. The setting is atmospheric, the sounds are perfect, and the bar is so inviting. The food is fantastic, the service attentive and friendly, and the kitchen is a dream – everything is freshly cooked right before our eyes. We'll be back! ☀️

Tips for Visiting Nightlife & Bars

Know the Closing Times

Legal closing time is 2 AM for most venues, though enforcement varies. In Bangkok's designated entertainment zones (RCA, Silom Soi 2/4, Khao San), some clubs stay open until 4 AM. Islands tend to be more relaxed about hours.

Buy Bucket Drinks Cautiously

Island bucket drinks (mixed spirits in a small bucket) are cheap and fun but notoriously strong and inconsistent. Stick to one, stay hydrated, and never leave your drink unattended at beach parties.

Arrange Your Ride Home

Use Grab (ride-hailing app) to get home safely — taxis outside nightlife areas late at night often refuse meters. Set up the app before going out, and keep your phone charged.
