Eating Out With Kids in Khao Lak
Dinner with kids abroad comes down to two things: a place they can move around in, and food they’ll actually eat.
Travelling Thailand with kids is refreshingly easy – Thai people love children. A longer sit-down dinner still needs a plan, though. The restaurants in Khao Lak and Bang Niang that work for families tend to share a few things.
What to look for
- Room to move. A kids area means you finish your meal instead of eating it in shifts.
- Mild dishes that are more than fries. Fried rice, chicken satay, spring rolls, pancakes – Thai cuisine has plenty for kids once you know where to look.
- A menu kids can read themselves. A picture menu turns “I’m not hungry” into “I want number 12.”
How Mol Thaifood handles it
Mol Thaifood has its own dedicated kids area where children can relax while you eat, and the menu is full of mild dishes – spice level is adjusted per dish. Best part: the free app is a picture menu kids can browse themselves – and they can play the Thai names aloud, which turns waiting for food into a game. The app also shows the kids area, so you know what to expect.
Parent tip: let each kid pick two dishes in the app beforehand. Ordering becomes their job – and the usual table negotiations mostly sort themselves out.
A picture menu for the little ones. Free, works offline, 245+ dishes in six languages.
