Coconut Seafood 2_Rawai is a beachfront restaurant in Rawai, with a laid-back vibe and sea views. It’s an easy place for a quiet lunch by the water, but it’s also worth dropping in later in the day — by dinner time the tables fill up quickly. Parking is usually easiest near the entrance of the small lane, then walking the rest of the way.
The focus here is on fresh seafood: crab, prawns, shellfish, and fish. You can pick a larger fish and have it cooked in the style you prefer. The menu also includes plenty of Thai dishes alongside a few European choices, making it simple to order for a group or for anyone who prefers milder, more familiar flavors.
Standout items include a well-balanced tom yum, prawns in sauce, a red curry soup, and a Southern Thai curry with crispy pork. The steamed fish deserves special mention — both the lemon version and the one cooked inside a young coconut.
Service is generally well-organized and keeps a fast pace, but when the restaurant is full, waits can get noticeably longer and dishes don’t always arrive at the same time. Occasionally, food isn’t served piping hot, and the spice level may differ from what you were told; on rainy days, help with umbrellas isn’t always immediate. Prices feel reasonable for a seaside location (for example, three dishes with water and ice come to about 3,470 THB).
