Why go, and how to do it well

Situated in Ban Tai on the southern coast of Koh Phangan, Sand & Tan is a beachside restaurant that draws a consistent crowd thanks to its relaxed setting and all-day dining. Open seven days a week from 8:00am to 10:00pm, it caters to a broad range of visitors, from those looking for a leisurely breakfast to travelers winding down with an evening meal by the water.

The restaurant is part of the Phangan Bayshore Resort, giving it a polished but unhurried atmosphere that suits both resort guests and walk-in visitors. The combination of a beachfront location and mid-range pricing makes it an accessible option for travelers who want a scenic dining experience without committing to a high-end budget. The all-day hours mean there is genuine flexibility for those working around tours, boat schedules, or lazy beach days.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food

Follow the Crowds

The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.

Ice Is Safe

Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.

Use Grab for Delivery

The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
