Thai food on a cliff, with the whole gulf underneath you.

Why we recommend it
Three terraces cut into a clifftop south of Jomtien, with the best sunset table on this coast and Thai cooking that holds its own against the view.
Our review
The entrance off Sukhumvit is easy to miss and the approach gives nothing away, which makes the reveal better. Three levels of open terrace step down toward the water, all of them looking out across the gulf to the Pattaya skyline. Tom yum, crab fried rice, soft shell crab curry and the crispy pork are the dishes to build a table around. The lower terraces are the ones worth having and they go first, so call ahead rather than chancing it. Come before sunset and stay through it.
