Kan Eang @ Pier Seafood Restaurant in Chalong Bay


An excellent seafood restaurant in south Phuket


Kan Eang @ Pier is a trendy seafood restaurant in Chalong Bay on the way to Rawai Beach, in the south of Phuket. Popular since decades, Kan Eang (meaning ‘Feel at Ease’), is a relaxing place in the shade of huge trees with a beautiful sea breeze. The restaurant serves excellent and quite affordable seafood, and the service is always impeccable.

This is one of our favourite seafood restaurants in Phuket when we want something a little more sophisticated. It’s worth driving the distance for a lazy Sunday lunch or to share an excellent Thai dining experience with friends, even for a business dinner.

Kan Eang was originally a tiny local restaurant which popularity never ceased to grow, to the point that another Kan Eang 2 was built somewhere near to the first. One day this original restaurant was entirely rebuilt and renamed ‘Kan Eang @ Pier’. Success was immediate. Kan Eang @ Pier had everything right; plenty of tables under huge trees right next to the sea with views on nearby islands allowed guests to get a seafront table almost every time. Add one of the best seafood on the island with friendly and efficient service (and good English), and you get a winner.

What to Eat at Kan Eang?

The menu is comprehensive and you can enjoy all the seafood Phuket is famous for. Blue crabs, Phuket lobster, giant prawns, superb fish cooked in so many ways (seabass, grouper). If you are a little confused with the list, don’t hesitate to ask the team. They are always happy to help and speak enough English.

some unusual dishes to try, such as Mang Da Talay (a prehistoric-looking horseshoe crab) or some personal creations (Delicious water chestnut coconut ice cream). We don’t need to list all the fresh seafood you can expect on Phuket such as huge lobsters and giant prawns.

The place is large but remains cosy, and often accommodates private parties or even wedding parties at the far end. Several air-con buildings can receive dinners if rains start, and a band plays soft Jazz music in the background.
