At the very end of Soi Ta Choei, 700 m from the main road, are three small bungalows in the middle of the forest, called Garden Villas. Well, the name does not really fit, maybe a change to Forest Huts might be appropriate. The bungalows seem to be occupied by longtimers.

The Bavaria House Restaurant owned by Tom and Jane offers the best barbecued chicken south of Isarn. It is served with delicious French fries and 'Spaetzle' (traditional Swabian Pasta). Tom comes from the largest chicken roastery in Ulm in Swabia (Germany). The restaurant became in a very short time THE meeting place for Germans living in Khao Lak -- the wall is decorated with their photos skillfully taken by Tom. And, not to forget, there are Jane's sundaes...
They have added a sports bar to the restaurant which is located on the access road to the beach. Sports events and music shows are displayed on a huge screen.

The Bingo Food and Drink Restaurant in Bang Niang beside the highway is a favorite to eat out in the late evening. The foreigners living in Khao Lak consider this restaurant one of the best restaurants in Khao Lak. Every dish is prepared fresh which can take a while.

Bread and More Breakfast Restaurant at Phetkasem Highway serves the best and most extensive breakfast options in Khao Lak. Freshly baked rolls, also with wholemeal, poppy seed and sesame, come with a sumptuous breakfast platter. For 220 Baht you can get Parisian ham, pepper ham, salami, zesty liverwurst and/or Nuremberg-style Leberkäse (a type of Bavarian meat loaf) together with a half-boiled egg and freshly pressed orange juice and even more. For many people this meal is sufficient until dinner time.
A second Bread and More is situated at Bang Niang Beach Road next to Bavaria.

The younger sister of the village mayor runs this noodle stall with two tables, located along the road of Bang Niang. The food is simple, but it is worthwhile to stop here.

The Phat Thai Restaurant (Baan Pad Thai) only offers four different dishes, but each one is delicious and freshly prepared. Furthermore, the service is so fast that you have hardly the time to wash your hands and pour water in your glass after ordering - the plate or bowl already comes to your table.
My favorite dish is Suki Nam Talay, a noodle soup with seafood for just 40 Baht - the same price as 25 years ago, when I had my first Suki Nam in Thailand, in the North in Pai at Mr. Vinai's. Only out of curiosity did I order this dish with the Japanese name and I got something completely different than in Japan, of course. But the composition of that dish with its vermicelli, one prawn, pieces of squid, fish balls and crab meat rolls never lost its attraction for me. It comes with a red sauce in case you need to spice it up, but you have to be prepared, this sauce is hotter than it looks!
How can people speak about inflation when you can get a great meal for the same price after 25 years?
By the way, the other dishes for 40 Baht are Hoi Tord, fried mussels with egg and sprouts prepared on a hot plate, Rad Na, noodles with sauce and, of course, Phat Thai - but I do not really appreciate the style of preparation here.

Without any doubt, this is the best Thai restaurant in Khao Lak. Every Thai person here has already eaten in this restaurant, chosen from the 20 steel bowls and been served Lad Kao (on rice). This is Thai fast food at its best! Drinking water with ice is offered free of charge and the plate with typical green leaves and raw veggies is included anyway. Occasionally there is also Hom Mok Pla for 10 Baht, very delicious and if you eat it together with rice it is not too hot. The side dishes from the steel bowls are freshly cooked from 9 am to 1 pm and from 6 pm to 22 pm.
In the evenings, a clear rice soup is served. Customers can also order some specialties from the menu: Cooked morning glory, 100-year-old eggs, slices of Chinese sausage, all these below 50 Baht and the plate always generously filled. Most of the time I can order my favorite dish: Moo Pat Hed (fried pork with mushrooms). The owner and staff are always very friendly!
The English signboard was removed, but

One of the many Thai Restaurants situated along the main road in Ban Bang Niang, Thai Kitchen is managed by a family which usually comes from another province and prepares the dishes in their local way. Thus you can taste the cuisine of many Thai provinces here in Bang Niang, just in a small area, and discover your favorite.
The resorts in Khao Lak employ staff from all over Thailand, so these people can always eat in a restaurant from their home town.
