A party of 6 of us (myself and 5 adult Thais) went to Platoon on Saturday 3/9/2022 for lunch. I have never had such an unpleasant experience with surly staff in my life! Sour faced, unhelpful, and downright rude. Let me explain. They brought the menu and one of our party asked in Thai very politely what they recommend. No answer from the middle aged waitress, just a glowering look as if to say, how dare you ask such a question. Oh well, we ordered the food to share Thai style. First came a bowl of rice on its own without a cover. Nothing else. We asked (of course in Thai) if we could have a cover for the rice to keep it warm. More dagger looks. She brought a plate to put on top of the rice, not the proper cover. OK the food came in a reasonable time. I thought it was quite good but the Thais were not very impressed with it, rating it a 5/10 . The food prices were reasonable. When we finished eating I had to frantically wave to another staff member for her attention, because our waitress was fully engaged with her mobile phone. So the bill came and I paid cash, but the staff members lingered about 2 meters away staring at the money, obviously eager to get a tip. Unbelievable! So I recognised what was happening and turned away to talk to someone, but the others told me the staff kept staring at the money. I kept chatting until they got fed up. I must have had some brain aneurysm, because I actually left 20 baht tip. I must be mad. I want my money back !! It 's a great shame because the location by the sea is fine. But it 's obvious the staff have had no training or underpaid or something, or they didn 't care because the boss might have been away. It was very unusual for Thailand. It was not just one staff member, but all seemed disinterested. And to top it all, 2 of us got diarrhea but although this is the only thing we had to eat coming from Bangkok, I cannot be certain of the source so this is an observation only. I 've been in Thailand for decades. The others were Thai. So we know the score here and Thai Ways . I invite the owners to provide an explanation. Not very busy when we went, so no excuse there. Look at TripAdvisor for similar 1* reviews.
This is one of the best seafood restaurants in Chaam. I was in the Regent Chaam and this restaurant is so close to the hotel and right on the beach. You can enjoy the view of the sea and sea waves on the wall of the restaurant. The view is spectacular and the food is great. The staff is good, but there are few who speak English, but the menu is in English with good pictures. The crowd in this restaurant is standard and good. I would recommend this restaurant if you were in a chaam.
Back for another visit, still rock it!! Food was excellent, quiet romantic dinner by the sea!! This place was really good. You can't beat the location directly on the water with beautiful seating. Staff don't speak much English, but they were really friendly and made a worthy effort to get us what we wanted. The food was good on all fronts, crab curry, crispy pork, massa a curry, seafood, all well I will definitely go back here next time I meet cha am. Love it
Beautiful local restaurant by the sea. Nice view and food is good. Service is also fast.
Nice place for a family dinner or dinner. All dishes were well seasoned and delicious, was surprised with the quality of their fish and also the generous portion size of their squid dishes. My only criticism is that some of the dishes arrived quite long while others were very fast. All recommended!
