The renovation of Kaab Gluay affords more space for customers: the original long open dining room is still here, and a two-storey building has been added to the restaurant, offering an air-conditioned dining room downstairs, and an open dining room upstairs on a covered terrace. Kaab Gluay will not win any interior décor awards – buffed concrete floor, brick walls, dark wooden ceiling frames - but the place is elegant in its simplicity, and spotless. The atmosphere of Kaab Gluay depends on what time you choose to eat: early diners are subject to heavy traffic noise; mid-evening diners are subjected to other-diners’ noise and so on. It’s a delicious but pretty boisterous experience. Still, there are more Thai clients than foreign and this can only be a good thing in a tourist town. Service is cheerful and attractive and things get a bit hectic around eight o’clock but the (mostly female) green-uniformed staff handle it all with grace.
