Winkks Beach Club
Winkks Beach Club sits directly on the shores of Koh Samet, offering a relaxed beachfront setting where visitors can eat, drink, and unwind without straying far from the sand. Part of the Sai Kaew Beach Resort, the club draws both resort guests and independent travellers looking for a comfortable spot to spend the day or evening along one of the island's most popular stretches of beach. The atmosphere leans casual and social, with the kind of laid-back energy that suits a tropical island setting. Guests can expect mid-range pricing, making it a reasonable option for those who want beachside service without committing to a fine dining budget. The combination of food, drinks, and direct beach access in a single venue makes it a practical choice for a longer stay rather than a quick stop. Winkks Beach Club is open every day of the week from 11:00am to 11:00pm, giving visitors plenty of flexibility whether they are planning a leisurely lunch, a sunset drink, or a late dinner after a day on the water. Those visiting during peak season or on weekends may find it busier, so arriving earlier in the day is advisable for securing a good spot. More information and contact details are available through the Sai Kaew Beach Resort website.

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.
