全景高尔夫与乡村俱乐部

This simple, open-air restaurant serves Thai-Chinese fare. The food is distinctive for its simply cooking techniques yet quality dishes with extra-fresh ingredients and intense flavours. They offer a fantastic range, including several seafood and made-to-order options. Deep-fried chicken thigh with fish sauce and stir-fried spicy seafood are recommended.

This lively spot, opened in Khao Yai over a decade ago, serves up bold Southern Thai flavours in a welcoming setting with both open-air and air-conditioned areas. The kitchen works with house-made curry pastes, delivering punchy dishes such as stir-fried petai with kapi, minced pork and shrimp – each is intense, fragrant and satisfying. Expect generous portions, quick service and made-to-order cooking that keeps the pace brisk, especially during peak season.

For over 20 years, Ko Kia has been drawing the lunchtime crowds for its boat noodles. The bold, aromatic pork and beef broths are enriched with a touch of blood for depth, but the beef stands out. The clear soup is lighter, but full of flavour and the natural sweetness of daikon.

Nina’s homely restaurant, surrounded by greenery, has two dining areas. The inside is decorated with vintage furniture, chandeliers, standing lamps and a classic clock, while diners in the garden can enjoy nature’s shade. The dishes are well seasoned and many of the vegetables and herbs Nina's uses, such as betel leaves, coriander and basil, are grown on-site. The Thai dishes are tasty and well seasoned, with some uniquely created by the chef. One worth trying is long beans stir-fried with shrimp paste and shrimps.

Housed in a beautifully restored railway carriage within the resort's lush grounds, this stunning dining spot with lakeside tables is inspired by the Orient Express. Open in the evenings only, it serves both an à la carte and a changing set menu featuring premium ingredients and a classic European touch, channelling the golden age of rail travel. The bœuf filet mignon with red wine jus, sautéed vegetables and mash is a signature – elegant, comforting and full of old-world charm.

At Gin-D, "eating well" means nourishing the body without sacrificing authentic Thai flavours. Ingredients are thoughtfully sourced – organic vegetables, free-range meats, grass-fed Australian beef and seafood from small-scale fisheries – and the use of natural seasonings ensures a clean, MSG-free taste. The setting is simple and relaxed, with warm wooden decor and a garden. This gentle, feel-good approach to Thai cooking is rooted in quality and care.

It’s hard to miss this restaurant with its large orange crab statue out front. And you wouldn’t want to miss eating here either. Inside is a mix of industrial and rustic décor, with a stage for live music. A small English-style garden with a water fountain surrounded by trees provides tranquil outdoor dining. The fresh catch of shrimp, prawns and crabs are as fresh as can be, swimming in their tanks up until an order comes in. The signature baked glass noodles with hot pot crab is superb in a herby gravy; the grilled tiger prawns and Thai spicy seafood sauce is also delightful.
