Why go, and how to do it well
Tha Khao Bay View Restaurant sits on the hillside above Tha Khao, the village and pier on Koh Yao Noi's northeast coast, and the name is an accurate description of what you get. The terrace looks down over the bay, the fishing boats and the little island of Koh Nui, with the karsts of Phang Nga Bay beyond.
It keeps daytime hours, opening for breakfast at 07:30 and closing at 14:00, which makes it a breakfast or lunch stop on a scooter loop of the island, or the place to wait for a morning boat to Krabi's Ao Thalane from the pier below. The cooking is Thai, and the view east is at its best in the morning light.

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.
