Great restaurant. So far we tried 6 dishes and all were excellent. They do the Thai classics perfectly. Plus the food is nicely arranged on china. Probably the best place on the island.

Best food on the island, we stayed on Koh Phayam for 2 weeks and kept on returning to E'co restaurant because the food quality/price was better than anywhere else. We tried so many dishes here and every dish was perfection. The Penang was particularly delicious - the best we've had in Thailand. The family that owns this restaurant is very friendly too which is a bonus.
