Lae Lay Grill
Come for the view first, the grill second. This is Ao Nang's waterfront dining in its most straightforward form: open-air seating facing the bay, fresh seafood over charcoal, and a menu wide enough to keep a mixed group happy. Thai classics sit alongside Western dishes, so the one person in your party who won't eat chilli is covered.
Prices are mid-range, which for a beachfront table in this part of Krabi is fair rather than cheap. My advice is to treat it as a sunset booking rather than a casual walk-in. From November through February the bay-facing tables are spoken for well before the light starts going, and turning up at seven expecting a front-row seat is optimistic. Lunch is the quieter play if you just want grilled fish and a sea breeze between boat trips. Beachwear is fine, nobody's checking.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
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.
