Just a short walk from our restaurant is The Five Islands Gallery & Café, located in the tiny fishing village of Baan Taling Nam, famed for its temple, Wat Kiri Wongkaram and mummified monk.
The Café features freshly baked pastries & cakes, the best fresh smoothies, squeezed fruit juices, coffees and homemade ice cream to enjoy as you relax among the locals in the traditional life of a Thai fishing village.
The Gallery features a collection of contemporary Thai designer clothing chosen to complement our range of hand made jewellery and trinkets. The clothing and scarves reflect the island lifestyle, providing comfort and style for the wearer.
Stocked alongside the clothing are an array of luminous pearls, corals, hill tribe bags and silvers, natural shells and beads of remarkable designs.
The Gallery has been tastefully restored from an old Chinese family home, formerly belonging to the Kamnan or regional deputy. Commemorating plaques to the Kamnan are displayed on the outside. Inside, the history of the village is presented in the portraits of the family leaders for generations.
