Cafe 69

Everything about this casual restaurant off the main road in Bophut reminds you you are in Thailand - from the name, to the kitschy disco decor that wouldn't work anywhere else except the land of the thousand smiles, to the owner/chef Vivian who is a man but appears to moonlight as a ladyboy based on a photo on the restaurant wall, but most of all - the fresh, delicious, authentic Thai food.

 Thai Pad, Cafe 69's take on pad thai with amazing battered prawns and tamarind sauce
 Green chicken curry with mango
The interior - what you see is basically the entire restaurant, a tiny but lovingly kept restaurant in Bophut
