Smilebeach Resort Khaolak

Offering a relaxing setting with indoor and outdoor seating perfect for enjoying cocktails and a delightful mix of Mediterranean dishes, against the backdrop of the evening sunset. Specialising in fresh seafood grilled over a wood-burning stove, the restaurant's standout dish is a seafood pizza with shrimp, squid, mussels, and mozzarella. Complete your dining experience with a delicious dessert like crispy fried bananas served with coconut milk ice cream.

The cuisine of the local Baba (Chinese-Thai) people lives on here. Named in honour of the owner’s grandfather, a 'Juumpo' or chef on a Chinese boat more than 80 years ago and the source of many unique recipes, the open-air restaurant is fitted out with décor that reflects Chino-Portuguese design and culture. Baba-style coconut milk soup with shrimps and Thai herbs, chilli dip with shrimp, and fried fish with sweet and sour sauce are all recommended.
