Eating in Mai Khao
All the resorts have their own restaurants on site but tend to be a bit pricey. Some great ice cream at Svensons in Turtle Village and a small overpriced supermarket where you can buy all your favorite foods from home.
Bill Bentley's used to serve good bar food although very expensive and quality has suffered recently.
Local restaurants are the best for value and taste and should not be avoided. Some of the best are right on the beach just before Sarasin bridge. Here you can eat authentic local food by the sea in a bamboo sala which is all freshly cooked unlike some of the hotels further south. Not a microwave oven in sight, just good authentic home cooking with generally good service even though English language can be limited.
There are several other places too numerous to mention but check blogs online or just ask the locals who are not affiliated with the resorts.
If you are a bit more adventurous the world is really your lobster! Many villagers will put a few tables outside their house and sell various local food which is cheap and very tasty. Around Mai Khao village there are also local markets open in the afternoons every day of the week where you can buy fresh produce for cooking in your apartment or barbecued snacks to eat on the spot and hoards of fresh fruit of every variety.
If your taste requires fast foods such as KFC or McDonalds stay further south. Luckily Mai Khao has not been infected by the junk food giants up to now.
