Why go, and how to do it well

Tucked away on the quiet island of Koh Mak in Trat Province, Food Garden offers travelers a relaxed dining option in a setting that lives up to its name. Open seven days a week, it serves as a reliable spot for those exploring one of Thailand's more low-key and unspoiled islands, where dining choices are notably fewer than on busier destinations like Koh Chang or Koh Samet.

The restaurant operates throughout the day from 10:00 to 22:00, making it a practical choice for both lunch and dinner. Priced at a mid-range level, it suits travelers looking for a comfortable meal without the premium cost of resort dining. The garden atmosphere lends a casual, unhurried feel that fits naturally with the pace of island life on Koh Mak.

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.
