La Sala sits at the edge of a lagoon, its role shifting through the day. Breakfast is a buffet with live cooking stations, mixing Asian and western dishes to start the morning. By lunch and dinner, the restaurant turns to authentic regional Thai recipes and specialties particular to Phuket, paired with a selection of wines. The setting by the water carries through both moods, from casual morning service to a more considered evening menu. It ranks among the more accomplished Thai dining rooms in Mai Khao.
