Baan Thai Seafood Restaurant
Seafood is the reason to come, and the kitchen treats it properly. Mussels, fresh oysters, a papaya salad with seafood that reviewers keep singling out for its creaminess and spice. The tom yum gets praise for being clean and free of the woody bits that turn up in lazier versions. There's also beef in Thai sweet and sour with pineapple and vegetables, which is worth knowing about because decent beef dishes are thin on the ground in Patong.
The bigger draw might be the flexibility. Staff will cook things that aren't on the menu if you ask nicely, and at least one table talked them into a lamb curry with garlic and cheese naan. English is good, service moves, and prices sit comfortably in the affordable bracket for what arrives. The Pad Thai is the weak link by most accounts, noodles on the soft side, so I'd steer towards the seafood and the salads instead.

Reviews from Google
I had a wonderful experience here. The Thai and seafood is incredibly fresh and cooked with true Thai flavors. The mussiles was juicy and rich, the Fresh oyster was perfectly seasoned, and the Papaya salad seafood was the highlight — creamy, aromatic, and full of delicious spices. Friendly staff and a relaxing atmosphere make it even better. Definitely coming back!
Food was great and our service was even better! Our waiter went above and beyond to make a special dish for us that was not on the menu. We had a lamb curry dish with garlic and cheese naan. The lamb was super tender and very flavorful. We also got a spicy chicken appetizer which was good too, but the lamb stole the show!
I spotted this restaurant close to my accommodation, first night landing in Thailand. I wanted something simple, so I ordered traditional Thai food that I might get back home, Seafood Pad Thai and beef salad. The beef salad was the most enjoyable of the meals. I'm not sure what it was with the Pad Thai, but perhaps the noodles were a bit overcooked and the flavour not 100%. I would have loved less ice in the drink. If it was in the middle of the day and hot, then a glass filled with ice may have been quite nice, but at the end of the day when it wasn't so hot, I drank the liquid and ended up with a glass full of ice. Customer service was excellent, fast and efficient.

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.
