4.6 / 5.0(1,372 reviews)
I loved this place!! Food is amazing! Service was a bit bad because the restaurant was crowded so we had to a wait a little bit to get the waiter to serve us! I made a pre booking by phone and when we got there, we still had to wait a little bit.. but it was worth it! We had salmon sashimis, crab cake (absolutely perfect), fried prawns and calamari rings (super recommend) The service was excellent and far beyond our expectations. Thank you so much for surprising us with the saxophone performance and singing Happy Birthday — it was truly impressive. This is a restaurant we often visit for dinner, and we have never been disappointed with the taste or the service. Everything is always outstanding, especially Khun Ple, who is absolutely amazing. Very impressed When I visited the restaurant, it was raining, but a staff member who was waiting in the parking area kindly prepared an umbrella for me. The restaurant had a great atmosphere, and every dish I ordered was delicious. In particular, the crab cakes were fluffy and absolutely outstanding. I had a wonderful time there. If there was one downside, it would be that when I ordered sparkling wine, they only had a sweet variety available. I think this is the best restaurant in Krabi. I visited on a rainy Thursday night without a reservation, and there were only two tables left, so I think making a reservation is necessary.

Classics Thai River restaurant. Lots of Thai families come here. Locals as well as tourists. The food is good, the drinks are affordable and the views are spectacular. The service is very nice too. If you are looking for the perfect sunset spot: don‘t look further. This is it.

I think it's the most popular place in Krabi Towns, huge portions, unique atmosphere. Singers in beautiful dresses are just gorgeous, warm lighting and beautiful voices will not leave you indifferent if you have it. I recommend it, I haven't found anything better in Krabi Town.
