We spent our honeymoon on Koh Phagnan and, although we spent most of our time at the beach, once we did venture out to the rest of the island, we were lucky enough to find this gem. Crave is spectacular! We LOVE Thai food, but were absolutely stunned by the quality of Western food here - the best in Thailand,... More

Thank you so much for this review! We are always happy to accommodate people with allergies, food intolerances and diets as best as we can! We know how difficult and stressful it can be for them to find the right food to eat when travelling. The last thing you want is to be sick! I'm glad you enjoy Crave! Cheers!... More

I stayed nearby for 54 nights, the biggest mistake I made was only eating here on the last night. The beer is cheap, the burger was excellent, if you don't what poutine is don't worry as you will love it. The pool table needed fixing or better still replacing along with a new set of balls, I am coming back... More

You are not the only one that finds us on their last night! That's unfortunate! Oh well! We are happy that you found us especially since you'll be back to Haad Yao! We are looking into fixing the pool table and get some new sticks and balls but replacing the whole thing would be quite an expense for now! We... More

Came here a couple nights ago but decided to leave as there was a hudge table of at least 15 or more who came in right before me and overwhelmed the staff... No problem... Came back tonight and everything is calm and chill. Wonderful place to relax and eat. Games and books for customers are great. Big screen tv. Good... More

When a group of 30 people come all at once the place does get noisy and it obviously jams the service at the beginning for the rest of the tables! We are happy that you decided to come back to Crave the next day so that we can give you the relaxing evening you were looking for! Thank you for... More

We'd seen reviews from many people who go here so had to give it a try and most certainly weren't disappointed! The restaurant is really nice, relaxing low level tables with cushions round the edge with bar stools or traditional table & chairs depending on your mood. It also has a (free) pool table and books & games too. You... More

We loved the food, atmosphere and customer service. My husband and I both had burgers and poutine. I am a very picky poutine eater and I loved it! Both hamburgers (classic and med) were great. There were cosy pillows to sit on (but also tables and chairs if you prefer that). They have pool tables, books and games (connect 4... More

I can't resist to pass by Koh Phangan every time I'm in Thailand just to visit Crave. The staff is great, tried both the western and thai food and both are succulent. If you're in Koh Phangan you must visit that place! I'll come again and again for sure !!!!

Loved this place! Great friendly staff, plenty of choice, and amazing burgers! Proper homemade chips topped it off. The place is a little hard to see from the road - it's above some shops opposite 7-11. Comfy seating and games to pass the time while you wait. Preferred the beef burgers over the chicken but both were good. We visited... More

I was going to only give this place 4 stars because the burger patty itself was a little small, but I'm just a fat American - what am I thinking?? To start, the ambiance/seating is pretty great. I sat on a raised lounge area, and (overall) the decor is very nice. We were greeted by a very traditional Aussie guy... More

Haha! Loved reading your review! I wouldn't dare calling you a fat American but I have to say that most people are stuffed after eating one of our quarter pound (150g) beef burgers!! ;o) Next time you'll have to supersize it with some poutine instead of fries (fries,gravy and cheese) or try our Fat Betty burger (double beef!)...or both!
