Local restaurants
Chaweng Beach is awash with eateries, some good, some distinctly avoidable. Ou top choices are rustic Italian Bellini (+66 (0) 7741 3831) and casual Californina-meet-Thai joint Betelnut (+66 (0) 7741 3370), both in Soi Colibri.
Nightlife
The clubs in Chaweng Beach are renowned throughout Thailand, although not always in a good way. Try Mexico-inspired Guapa (+66 (0) 897 242 843) in Soi Colibri for jazzy riffs, latin anthems and Cuban cigars.
