Koh Klang Floating Restaurant is in Tambon Klong Prasong, Mueang Krabi District, Krabi Province, Thailand.
One of my favorite experiences in Thailand is dining by the riverside, and the Halal Seafood Lunch at Ko Klang Floating Restaurant is a firm local favorite.
Many restaurants here are built over the jetty by the river, allowing visitors to walk in after disembarking from a boat.
Some of these restaurants have dual frontages, offering both riverside and road access for a stroll up the boardwalk.
Either way, the restaurants provide a fantastic view of the river, enhancing the dining experience.
Koh Klang Floating Restaurant Freshest Catch
The freshest catch, just caught before your eyes and taken straight to the pot, may not be a sight for veggie lovers.
However, for those who appreciate seafood, Thai-style cooking is both creative and innovative, offering delicious and appetizing dishes!
Thai cuisine uses a combination of fragrant herbs and a mix of hot and cooling spices.
The soulful and distinct preparation styles range from quaint to elaborate, all prepared in the manner of home-cooked meals by skilled chefs.
Koh Klang, a peaceful little Muslim rural community, is a mere 5-minute boat ride from Krabi town.
We took a long-tail boat on a picturesque journey through Koh Klang’s maze of mangroves.
Most of the inhabitants on this charming island are Muslims, adding to its unique cultural tapestry.

We clambered onto the floating fish farm restaurant, where fishermen take live fish out of traps and straight to the cooking pot for our lunch.
We waited in the dining area, which floats above the river, adding a unique charm to the experience.
The Freshest Taste Possible in this halal floating restaurant
The delicious taste of fresh seafood is hard to replicate in the city, especially when it comes to Tom Yum Goong.
Tom Yum is a type of hot and sour Thai soup, typically cooked with prawns, that offers a burst of authentic flavors which are best enjoyed fresh from the source.
