Sairee is a popular tourist destination on Koh Tao, Thailand, and is home to many great restaurants. If you are a diver looking for a place to eat near Phoenix Divers, here are our top 5 picks:
CATTAGO! :
Embark on a culinary adventure at Cattago!, a haven for seafood enthusiasts, new on Koh Tao. Indulge in their signature dry-aged fish, prepared with the freshest local catches and time-honored techniques. The flavors are simply divine, and the lively atmosphere and friendly service complement the dining experience perfectly. Cattago! is a must-visit for seafood lovers seeking an unforgettable culinary journey.
Bai Toey Chicken Rice :
Bai Toey Chicken Rice (also known as Mama's) is a popular Koh Tao restaurant for both locals and tourists alike. The menu features a variety of Thai dishes, all made with authentic Thai ingredients and recipes. The restaurant also has a great selection of drinks, including Thai beers, cocktails, and smoothies. Mama's is located on top of the Phoenix Divers road, next to Dive Supply and in front of the Big Main 7/11. Their chicken on rice is 80 baht, and the rice is the tastiest you will find. But also try their Pad Thai, green curry, or Mama noodles. You won't regret it! (We love to get it take away for surface interval!)

Definitely try their chicken cordon bleu, and the tofu special (it's not on the menu, but it's a must try with rice!). Thank us later!
Duck 995 :
Duck 995 is a great place to go for a delicious and affordable meal. The menu features a variety of Thai dishes, all made with fresh, local ingredients.
