Where to Eat in Bang Tao Beach?

Bang Tao Beach is blessed with a surprisingly vast amount of restaurants, from modest roadside venues to beach restaurants and high-end cuisine. I visited quite a few in Bang Tao, which is part of the wider Cherngtalay district, and the area keeps surprising us with the quality of dining, which is higher than the rest of the island. Here, we list some of the best restaurants in Bang Tao Beach and Cherngtalay. Of course, there are many more, and we will continue adding them as we explore this part of Phuket Island.

Project Artisan

Project Artisan

Project Artisan is located on a quiet road between Bang Tao and Layan, away from the beach crowds. The concept is simple but works well. It’s a restaurant surrounded by art. Local Thai artists painted the murals you see everywhere, from the entrance sign to the walls inside and throughout the garden.  Old wooden doors and antique furniture are scattered around. Nothing matches, and that’s the point. The restaurants are spread across a large garden with tall trees and stepping-stone paths.
