Finally after nearly three years, I’ve put together a slideshow of the building of Luna. When I look at these pictures now, I can’t believe the scale of the project we undertook, just incredible. It seemed like we just jumped in and the next thing we were on this roller coaster ride. Now I feel quite proud of what we’ve achieved and can’t believe that this building started out as the bags of cement and wooden planks you see here!
We are happy to finally anounce the opening of the Luna Cafe! We have a great location in the centre of Thong Nai Pan Noi opposite the Jungle Bar which over the next few weeks we will be transforming into another great place to eat scrumptious foods and sit about chatting over coffees. We will be doing a delicious brunch menu featuring homemade breads, (I’m sure some of you will remember the sandwiches we were selling at Luna for a short while last year,) salads and a fantastic selection of deserts and mixed fruit shakes with as always our own Luna twist. After having many a complaint that we are not open during the day, we are now creating the perfect day time chill out spot with all the great flavours of Luna and a new menu to boot! We will be opening on Febuary the 14th so make your lover’s Valentine’s Day by treating them with a new Luna desert or even just a great cup of coffee (no nescafe in sight).
Other things on in Koh Phangan at the moment are the Flair cocktail shows over on Thong Nai Pan Yai. Central Cottage Resort has had the winners of ’06 and ’07 Flair Bartending championship perform twice now on the beach outside their restaurant and hope to make it a regular event with the Champion of Asia coming to perform too. So far both men have been fantastic to watch as they spun alight bottles through the air, juggling and drawing in the sand with fire. Along with fantastic local fire spinner Zin (who is also a regular to perform at Luna parties and also Rasananda) and cheap deals on cocktails, it makes for a great evening out.
We’re cooking up some great new ideas, projects and food at Luna. We’ll soon be announcing a brand new project on Thong Nai Pan which we’re all really excited about and this week we also confirm that an incredibly talented new chef will be joining us from the UK.
Watch this space for more information coming soon.

Luna Lounge Bar and Restaurant is a family restaurant with a difference. It combines perfectly the laidback vibe that visitors to Thailand love, with a fantastic global menu and spectacular Thai cuisine.Its comfy sofas, chilled ambience and eclectic décor have been charming customers since its opening in 2007 and its fantastic location on Thong Nai Pan Noi, described as “the jewel of Koh Pha Ngan” is unsurpassed in the south of Thailand.
Owners British-Thai couple Nat and Kung have between them many years culinary experience both in Thailand and around the world. Together they have created the unique and exciting Luna Lounge. Prepare to have your senses assailed by dishes as varied as Spicy Red Aubergine Curry, Spiced Moroccan Lamb, Grilled Cubano Sandwich, and house speciality: freshly-cut French fries drizzled with truffle oil and parmesan shavings.
Every plate comes from a wealth of cooking experience on four continents. And is brought to fruition by the skill and love of all members of the family, from Pi Piows slow-cooked southern masaman curry, to Nat’s Californian Artichoke Dip. Add to that the big, comfy sofas, great music and fantastic cocktails – taking their inspiration from bars as far-flung as New York and London – and you have something that is truly special.
Located in the stunning village of Thong Nai Pan Noi, Luna Lounge is about a five minute walk from any of the resorts on the beach. Click on the map for more info.
