Sabai Ba Bar is certainly the most original venue in Nong Thale. Located on Klong Muang beachfront, some 200 metres before to reach Sofitel Phokeethra Resort when heading to Tubkaak Beach, this restaurant, bar, and souvenir shop offers its guests a very well thought-out spotless venue made of recycled materials and fabrics. The venue is divided into four areas, each of them with its own assets.

The garden has a certain Arabian Nights’ touch, with its small salas featuring Thai cushions, small tables, and vividly coloured draperies. The main dining area is a shaded terrace that overlooks the beach. Adjacent to that, a slightly wobbly two-storey modern structure permits punters to enjoy a great view over the Andaman Sea. Two small rooms inside the main building are dedicated to quality Thai-style handcrafted souvenirs made of wood and ceramic.

Sabai Ba Bar’s menu is not very long, yet hosts a good choice of Thai and international delicacies from spring-rolls with shrimp at 120 baht to spaghetti seafood at 220 baht to fried squid with red curry at 180 baht to massaman curry with chicken at 250 baht; there’s something for everyone’s taste available here. Sabai Ba Bar is also a great sundowner spot. Its drinks list features a great choice of reasonably priced (between 140 and 180 baht) classic cocktails such as Mojito, Mai Thai, or Singapore Sling, just to name a few.

Summing up, Sabai Ba Bar is a recommendable place in Klong Muang: stylishly done, it remains unpretentious and its Bohemian décor and atmosphere makes it the perfect place to spend a lazy late afternoon in good company.
