    A retro southern Thai restaurant featured in the Michelin Guide

    • Ódýrt
    • Matgæðinga

    Nai Muang Khao Lak has a nostalgic retro charm thanks to interior decorations that include sewing machines, record players and old tin-mining memorabilia. But it’s the quality of its southern Thai cuisine that gives this restaurant a well-deserved spot in the Michelin Guide. Seafood delicacies like stir-fried shrimps and crab curries always go down a treat, and there’s plenty on offer for both meat-eaters and vegetarians.

    The menu here offers great value, making it a fantastic place to try Thai food that comes with international acclaim but won’t break the bank. The restaurant is quietest between 3 pm and 5 pm, though there’s usually no wait for a table at any time.

    Staðsetning: 33/4 Moo 6, Soi Loma, Khao Lak, Phang-nga 82190, Thailand

    Opnunartími: Thursday–Tuesday from 11 am to 9 pm (closed on Wednesday)

    Bussaba Thai Restaurant

    Traditional Thai food in a comfortable setting

    Bussaba Thai Restaurant
    • Matgæðinga
    • Hópa

    Bussaba Thai Restaurant is a multi-award-winning and cosy restaurant with a dining area that spills out onto the pavement of Petchkasem Road. Top-rated menu options include fried prawns, spicy beef salad, and massaman curry with chicken and cashews. Order a sharing platter of chicken satay, spring rolls and seafood treats for a taste of everything.

    We recommend booking a table in advance for dinner, though Bussaba is not too busy during lunch. If you’re looking for things to do in the area, Nang Thong Beach, Khuk Khak Beach and the Khao Lak-Lam Ru National Park are just a stone’s throw away.

    Staðsetning: 4/54 Moo 7 Phetkasem Rd, Khuekkhak, Khao Lak, Phang-nga 82190, Thailand

    Qcumber is a small but inviting restaurant in the heart of Khao Lak that serves a range of healthy Thai dishes and delicious smoothies.

    The restaurant is open every day besides Tuesday, and while you don’t usually need to book in advance, you can expect a bustling atmosphere during weekend evenings.
