It’s impossible to overstate how glorious the 180-degree views are from this stilted, thatched reggae bar clinging to a cliff above Kata: rippling sea, rocky peninsulas and palm-sprinkled hills. Throw in Bob Marley tunes and you have the perfect sunset-watching spot. When the fireball finally drops, fishing-boat lights blanket the horizon. Try the bursting-with-flavour pà t tai (dishes 100B to 400B).
