Nong Prew Restaurant (pronounced Nong Priaw) is situated at the northern end of Bang Niang Beach. Before the new Natural Resort it occupies a beachfront area with salas for eating, krathoms for massage, deck chairs and umbrellas. The round bar looks quite decorative. During the day the area is teaming with tourists enjoying the beach. In the evening portions tend to be substantially larger than during the day. The management is quite service minded and takes very good care of the guests. Around 5 pm music is turned up to unbearable levels so that tourists flee the scene which allows the staff to clean up before tourists come back for the popular sunset hour. Of course most tourists don't understand this clever action and tend to be upset about it. If a table is ordered for a group in the evening, it is nicely placed on the beach and beautifully decorated with table cloth, flowers and decorative lamps.

Sabai Sabai Restaurant is situated right by the beach on the property of The Shambhala Resort. Although the food is delicious and the service excellent, it is only rarely patronized by guests from outside the resort. This is a pity because mama is a very good cook and the prices are reasonable.

Sunny Restaurant and bar on the beach of Sudala Beach Resort serves a splendid variety of international and Thai dishes and has a panoramic view. Their specialty is seafood and fresh fish. Our top favorite in Khao Lak is the Barracuda Filet prepared in 6 variations according to your taste. You pay by the weight, which is only 45 Baht per 100 gram, and a sumptuous salad is included. Lately they have asked for a minimum of 300 grams per serving, but even then, in such a beautiful environment, this is the best value for money you can find in Khao Lak. The drinks are not cheap though. If you are on a budget, an inexpensive bottle of water will do easily.

The restaurant of Chong Fah Resort is called Seaborn Restaurant. The tables from dark wood are situated partly under the open sky next to Bang Niang Beach beside Sita Garden. Highly recommended is the buffet breakfast. Over 50 different delicacies are available and are filled up when getting empty. This fantastic breakfast for 350 Baht can easily compete with the four- and five-star resorts in Khao Lak. For dinner the barbecue night is highly recommended, too.

Joes Steakhouse is one of the most famous restaurants in Khao Lak because the owner, Ludwig Hugsam, was featured on various TV stations in Europe and became so popular that the feature is repeated every year or so.
His steak house is full every evening due to the excellent quality of the steaks and all other dishes that he prepares personally. The side orders like German noodles taste like the originals. Of course the salads are of excellent quality, too, and they are truly safe to eat.
To go to Joes Steakhouse at Bang Niang Beach not in vain, please reserve your table in advance. If you happen to stay until after 10 pm, you may be lucky to meet Ludwig personally, who happens to be one of the great characters in Khao Lak.

Chef Jimme Restaurant is situated along Bang Niang Beach Road less than 200 m from the beach. It opened in November 2011 at the end of the row of shop houses and incorporates the garden next to it with the kitchen and the bar in open air. Furniture is made from bamboo and looks inviting. The chef Jimme cooks quite delicious food. Many old guests will know Jim from the famous Ton Son Restaurant at the beach. As in former times her dishes are very good value for the fairly low price. From seven in the evening the restaurant is full every day -- a real success story in Bang Niang, without the help of Holidaycheck or Tripadvisor.
