The National Park Restaurant is run by a cooperative of Khao Lak. The location is in the middle of the jungle under towering trees with a breathtaking view of the Andaman Sea. Sometimes squirrels are around, often birds, very rarely monkeys right from the jungle. The Thai food is excellent. Four dishes are declared Fast Food in the menu, and they are prepared really fast, and are very cheap in addition. Many Thai families come to eat here as well as groups of employees of Khao Lak businesses. A few steps away is a very clean toilet. The jungle path to Hat Lek Beach starts in between. On a very clear day we have seen from here the tip of a mountain on the Similan Islands.

Ga, the owner of the former Ga Restaurant, has opened her restaurant in a new location 30 meters south with the new name My Style Restaurant. As the local cooks from Bang Niang came with her, the same first class authentic Thai dishes are prepared. The only sacrifice to authenticity is the reduced use of chillies and peppers. So guests do not run away in search for water to cool the heat. For years permanent guests in Bang Niang make it a rule to eat at least twice a week in Ga's restaurant in reverence to her excellent cooking standard.

Very generous portions, beautifully presented and artistically decorated. Fresh fruits are served complimentary for dessert. Upper price range. Inside partially exclusive wooden furnishing, while the open air area is only equipped with plastic tables. Very busy place!

Khao Niau is very famous for its Isaan food. It is managed by Alex who is very nice and likes to give advice about items on the menu. The exclusively designed food menu offers many typical Isaan dishes such as grilled meat, salads, minced meat (chicken, duck, catfish, beef, pork), Isaan Hot Pot, Kau Niau (sticky rice) served in a small woven basket, and some Thai dishes as well. Som Tam Mamuang (mango salad), Lab Pet (minced duck) and Gaeng Om Pok (soup specialty) is especially recommended. However, beef dishes are less delicious as they are very difficult to chew! There are also shakes (50 Baht) and red or white wine. Very reasonably priced (salads from 40 Baht, meat dishes from 70 Baht), fast and friendly service. The furnishing is all made of natural materials: bamboo tables and lower tables with cushions, very cozy. Khao Niau is located directly on the main road in Bang Niang. Very good value for money, highly recommended! Last orders at 21.45 pm.

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

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.

The Mukhatha Restaurant in Khuk Khak near the petrol station offers the best value for money in the Khao Lak region. All food items are prepared in pots and plates on many tables. The guests select the items they like and take them to their tables. Here the items are placed on a Korean BBQ grill and prepared by themselves according to their taste. The variety in this restaurant is gigantic: many different types of pork, chicken and seafood, many kinds of vegetables, Suki-style Japanese food, various kinds of fried rice and noodles, even an assortment of deserts and ice cream. All this for only 109 Baht per person. If anything is left over at the table, a fine has to be paid. There are at least 60 tables under one roof, and they are always occupied by families or groups of friends.
