Khao Takiab offers a diverse group of restaurants—and the list is growing.

As local tourism in Khao Takiab increases, so do the number of eateries, thanks to new resorts opening up and local restaurateurs moving in. Unlike Hua Hin, there are few opportunities to score street food. But there are plenty of restaurants in all price ranges.

Here are 7 Khao Takiab eateries that will not disappoint:

Kum Koon

Kum Koon is popular with the locals—and that’s usually a good sign. The freshly-caught seafood and traditional Thai dishes are not too costly and the atmosphere is friendly.

La Mer

Well known in town, La Mer sits atop the mountain, just down from the temple, offering a world-class menu and a view to match. Fresh seafood is sold by weight. This too is a restaurant that draws the locals to eat.
