Why go, and how to do it well
Perched above the Nong Thale area of Krabi, Dragon View Bar & Restaurant earns its name with sweeping panoramic views over karst mountains and open sky that visitors consistently single out as a highlight of their time in the region. The elevated setting draws a genuine mix of locals and travelers, giving it a more grounded atmosphere than the heavily touristed venues closer to Ao Nang.
The menu covers Thai classics to a high standard, with dishes like pad see ew drawing particular praise from diners. The food is described as flavorful and well-executed across a broad range of options, and the bar component means guests can settle in for drinks before or after eating. Portion sizes are adequate rather than generous, so arrive with a reasonable appetite. Service is noted as attentive and friendly, and the kitchen handles larger group bookings without significant delays.

Reviews from Google
Our favorite restaurant in Krabi This was hands down the best restaurant we went to in Krabi. The view alone is worth coming for — absolutely breathtaking, especially at sunset. Sitting there watching the sky change colors made the whole experience unforgettable. The food was excellent. You can really taste the quality — the flavors felt more refined and a level above many other places we tried. Everything we ordered was fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully served. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the atmosphere even better. If you’re in Krabi and want great food with an incredible view, this place is a must.
Beautiful sunset view. Gorgeous. I attended a dinner party with a big group and the service was very quick. Best pad see ew I’ve had in Thailand so far. The food was amazing. Flavorful without being overwhelming and the fruit was very fresh. The only feedback I would provide is possibly adding and or fly swatter fans on the tables if you dine on the outside deck.
Great place to watch the sunset. The views are stunning and make it a perfect spot for photos of the surrounding landscape. This was our second visit. This time we only had drinks, but on previous visits the local Thai food really stood out. Prices are a bit higher than usual, but the location and atmosphere make it worth it. The passion fruit drinks were especially delicious. The only downside was the service. We had to wait over 15 minutes just to order a drink after being seated. It wasn’t a big issue, but the place wasn’t busy at all, so it felt a bit strange. One important thing to note is that after sunset, a lot of flying ants tend to invade the terrace, which can be quite annoying for some guests. We actually decided to leave this time because of it. Overall, still a great spot for sunset views, drinks, and quality Thai food, but worth keeping that detail in mind.

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.
