Sea Cantina Restaurant and Bar
Tucked away on Slinky Street in the heart of Phi Phi Island, Sea Cantina Restaurant and Bar offers a laid-back dining and drinking experience in one of Thailand's most celebrated island destinations.

With a mid-range price point, Sea Cantina is accessible without sacrificing quality, striking a balance that suits both budget-conscious backpackers and travellers looking for a comfortable meal. The combined restaurant and bar format means guests can move easily between a sit-down meal and casual drinks, making it a versatile spot for different parts of the day. Good to know: Sea Cantina opens daily at 10:00 and closes at 22:00, keeping consistent hours across the entire week. Visitors should bear in mind that Phi Phi Island can get crowded during peak season, particularly from November to April, so arriving earlier in the evening is advisable to secure a good table.

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.
