Food and Drink

Many would say that Thai food is the best in the world, it is certainly a highlight of many tourists holiday. There are so many restaurants and road side stalls you will never be able to try it all.
Food is fresh and healthy. Seafood restaurants abound in Khao Lak, look out to sea at night and you'll see a line of squid fishing boats along the horizon.
Fresh tropical fruits are also popular.
Seek out local advice for the best places to go.
Noodle soup is one of the few dishes eaten with chopsticks. Rice dishes are eaten with a spoon.
The local beer is Singha (pronounced Sing), Leo, or Chang. Thai beers are quite strong and taste great cold with spicy Thai food. Imported beers include Heineken and Tiger. Wine and imported spirits are rather expensive. The local Sangsom whiskey is often drunk with Coke (or redbull). It tastes more like rum and carries a punch.
