Returning to this place after a decade, I found the same charming pirate restaurant perched on expansive rocks by the sea. The décor, still adorned with a plethora of items collected from the sea after the storm like driftwood, dried coconuts, and fishing nets, has retained its rustic allure. It’s an integral part of Haad Son Resort, the bar is accessed through the resort premises and is conveniently situated next to the “secret beach” though it has grown more lavish and spacious over the years. They built new areas and notably, it now offers a high-quality coffee experience with a top-notch Italian coffee machine and European style cakes. Shaded by lush trees, the bar features a sandy path leading through multiple sections, some with wooden terraces. The final section culminates in a platform built on rocks that extends into the sea. This last section doubles as a snorkelling spot, with steps leading down directly to deep water with coral and tropical fish.
