Why go, and how to do it well
Bussaba is a Thai restaurant on Phet Kasem Road in the middle of Khao Lak, with traditional Thai decor inside and tables out along the pavement. It's on four of the Khao Lak restaurant guides, which point to the massaman curry, grilled and fried prawns, spicy beef salad and mango sticky rice.
It's open every day from noon to 22:00 and sits in the mid-range, around ฿400 to ฿600 a person on Google. Lunch is the quiet time, and the guides suggest booking for dinner in season, when the street outside is at its busiest. The guides call it a good choice for families.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
Use Grab for Delivery
The Grab app works for food delivery across Thailand, letting you order from street stalls and restaurants alike. It's invaluable on rainy days or when you want to eat in your hotel.
