You arrive as the sun dips low over Patong Bay, a warm breeze pushing the last light across the Andaman Sea. Tables on the cliffside terrace frame a wide horizon; waves below keep time with the clink of cutlery. La Gritta’s tiled floors and low lighting focus attention outward — to the water, the passing fishing boats, and the long, slow fade of a tropical sunset.
