Despite being away from the madding crowds of Koh Touch, if you’re after a party, then this is another lively spot. It serves up a range of breakfast choices that span the diversity of its guests, and it also serves some top quality coffee to prepare you for the day ahead.

2. Falafel Sok San

Despite being situated on Koh Touch, Paradise has managed to retain the charm that gave the accommodation, restaurant and bar its name. Nestled at the far end of the beach, Paradise boasts a spacious 700 square meter wooden restaurant and lounge that serves up delicious organic food that spans Western and Asian tastes. To top it off, the Wi-Fi is pretty good — Paradise runs off solar power.
