BANG MUD FLOATING RESTAURANT
We have been to Bang Mud floating restaurant many times over the years and we always go with Mit and Wat from Patong Tattoo, along with their parents, wives and children.
Each time we go it is fantastic, instantly food and drinks start to appear and it just keeps on coming, whole fish, fresh oysters, prawns, crabs, soups, fish curries, tempura prawns, mussels, cockles, rice, and noodles.
The family always order to much food but what is left over is normally then taken home.
You can hire fishing rods at the restaurant and whatever you catch you just take home with you. From the restaurant, you can also take a long tail ride around Koh Maphrao island which is what we all do together each time we come over to Bang Mud and it takes about an hour.
Bang Mud restaurant is one of the floating restaurants off Koh Maphrao (Coconut Island) and is only a few minutes from Phuket Island by free long tail boat. It is worth a visit; the setting is wonderful and the food is delicious and fresh.
Traveling to the floating restaurants is easy, go to Laem Hin Port (off Thep Krasattri Road); it is marked on all the maps. Then just before the Laem Hin Seafood Restaurant you will see a small dirt road on the right marked Private Rd, go down there and you will see the long tail boats, just catch one over to the floating restaurants, these transfers are provided free by the restaurants.
