Baan Ingkhao By Somjit
Tucked away on the quieter island of Ko Mak — part of the Koh Chang archipelago in Trat Province — Baan Ingkhao By Somjit has built a strong reputation among visitors seeking authentic, affordable Thai food in a relaxed island setting. Its consistently high rating across a solid number of reviews points to a place that delivers reliable quality rather than relying on tourist foot traffic alone. Guests can expect a casual, unfussy atmosphere typical of a family-run Thai eatery, where the focus is firmly on the food. The budget-friendly pricing makes it accessible for travellers looking to eat well without overspending, and the broad daily opening hours — running from 8:00 in the morning through to 9:30 in the evening — mean it suits everything from a leisurely breakfast to a sit-down dinner after a day at the beach. Good to know: Ko Mak is a small, low-key island with limited dining options compared to busier destinations in the region, so Baan Ingkhao By Somjit tends to draw a steady crowd of both locals and repeat visitors. Arriving early for meals, particularly during peak island season, is a sensible approach. The restaurant has no listed website, so reservations are best made in person or through your accommodation.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
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.
