Fresh from the sea
Our boats dock at our pier every morning. We buy directly from local fishermen — fish, crabs, prawns, and shellfish, caught within hours of your meal.
Our story · since 1969
A family legacy
by thesea.
The Beginning
From a humble shack to a Phuket landmark.
Kan Eang began as a humble seaside shack where fishermen would bring their daily catch to be cooked fresh. The name"Kan Eang"translates to"easy-going"or"relaxed", which perfectly captured the spirit of those early days.
Fifty-five years later, we are still here — still on the same pier, still cooking the same recipes, and still welcoming everyone like family. While the shack has grown into a spacious waterfront destination, our core values remain unchanged.
We believe that great food doesn't need to be complicated; it just needs to be fresh, authentic, and prepared with love.
“The secret is simple. Fresh fish, traditional recipes, and treating every guest like they are coming to our home for dinner.”

Our Philosophy
Rooted in tradition.
Local Sourcing
We maintain decades-long relationships with Chalong Bay fishermen, ensuring we get the first pick of the morning catch before it ever reaches the markets.
Authentic Recipes
Our curry pastes are pounded fresh daily. We never compromise on the complex, bold flavors that define true Southern Thai cuisine.
The Atmosphere
Dining should be an event. The sea breeze, the sound of waves, and the shade of our ancient sea almond trees create an unforgettable setting.
Chalong Bay, Phuket
Where the land meets the Andaman Sea.

never compromise.
