Budsaba itself is placed in an idyllic spot directly on the beach. One hundred year old coconut trees and lapping waves frame the 28-seater restaurant building. But I found most of the diners outside. And that is where this restaurant is totally different!

Placed along the beachfront are 10 authentic Thai salas (roofed, wooden, open air, mini rooms on stilts). Nine of them can each seat 4-5 persons, and the tenth can accommodate up to 14.

The feeling inside the sala is very private already, but if you want to make it even more intimate, there are batik screens on each side that can be lowered. These are also handy should the sea breezes get a bit too strong.

Altogether, Budsaba offers an unforgettable Thai experience and delivers in style!
