They offer traditional fresh seafood in a classic Thai style.<\/p>\n<p>The family-run restaurant has been open since 1990 with strong family connections to the local fishermen. Everything that is sold here is fresh off the boat each day, with absolutely nothing being kept to sell-on again tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>The range of fish to choose from is extensive and the southern Thai cuisine is characterised by the number and variety of curried dishes on the menu. If you have a sweet tooth, the <em>kluay buad shi<\/em> (bananas in sweet coconut milk) can\u2019t be missed.

It is surprisingly one of the few Samui restaurants that specialises in traditional local cuisine, served in a lovely traditional Thai-style setting. Koh Samui&#8217;s cuisine is very different from that of other parts of Thailand. If you want a taste of it, Krua Bophut is where you should go.<\/p>\n<p>The restaurant is decorated with wood carvings and feels like an antique Thai house. Its amazing location right on the beach allows you to enjoy Southern Thai cuisine while you sit under the stars with your feet in the sand. This also makes Krua Bophut one of the most romantic restaurants in Koh Samui.<\/p>\n<p>As with many of the Thai restaurants in Koh Samui, there is a range of seafood on offer. But, they also offer meat and non-meat traditional Thai food.
