Why go, and how to do it well

Situated on the quiet island of Ko Mak in Trat Province, The Chill Restaurant offers a relaxed dining option for travelers looking to eat well without stretching their budget. Its location makes it a convenient stop for those exploring this lesser-visited island near Koh Chang, where dining choices are more limited than on the mainland.

The restaurant operates as an all-day dining venue, serving from 8am through to 10pm every day of the week, making it a flexible choice whether visitors are after a morning meal, a midday break from the beach, or a casual dinner. The budget price level positions it as an accessible option for backpackers and families alike, and the strong visitor rating reflects consistent satisfaction across a broad range of guests.

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.
