Why go, and how to do it well

Sitting within the Monkey Island Resort on Ko Mak — a quieter, less-developed island in the Trat province — this restaurant and bar serves as a convenient and comfortable dining option for guests and visitors looking for a meal or a drink in a laid-back island setting. Its position within a resort property gives it a relaxed, unhurried atmosphere that suits the slow pace Ko Mak is known for.

Open seven days a week from 9am to 10pm, the venue covers everything from breakfast through to evening drinks, making it a practical all-day option. Priced at a mid-range level, it strikes a reasonable balance for travelers who want more than a basic beach shack meal without committing to a high-end dining experience.

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.
