I am staying in Bophut on Koh Samui. Any recommendations as to which the many restaurants is worth going to eat seafood?

Last time I was in Bohput I eat at Yin Yang on the main street in Bophut, or Fisherman’s village as it is also known.

The picture below is what we had. For around 900 THB (I can’t remember the exact price as it was a couple of months ago) myself and the wife had a set menu of vegetable fried rice, grilled snapper, BBQ prawns and squid, and a couple of large blue swimmer crabs in red curry sauce – there may have been some starters also but I had had a couple of beers and my memory suffered for it. It tasted pretty good and for the price we thought it was exceptional. The service was efficient and we had nothing whatsoever to complain about during our visit to this restaurant.

The restaurant is nicely decorated in a modern style with a Thai/Buddha motif combined with modern lighting and ‘clean lines’. When we went it was mid December and the weather wasn’t very good so the weather blinds were down and we had to sit inside rather than on the beach. When the weather is good (about 10 months of the year normally) you can sit on the beach here or by the window and get a fantastic view over the sea and beach. The back of the restaurant overlooks the beach.
