Yung Khao Restaurant
ยุ้งข้าว เขาใหญ่
A Southern Thai restaurant on Thanarat Road that uses homemade curry paste and serves generous portions. It is listed in the Michelin Guide and is relatively affordable for Khao Yai.
Yung Khao is about 4 km along Thanarat Road in upper Khao Yai, bringing bold Southern Thai flavours to the mountains. It is listed in the Michelin Guide. The kitchen uses homemade curry paste, cooks each dish to order and serves quickly in generous portions. The Michelin Guide singles out shrimp-paste stir-fried stink beans with minced pork and fresh shrimp. Diners also recommend shrimp-paste stir-fried pork, salt-and-pepper shrimp and shrimp omelette. There is an air-conditioned room and an open garden terrace. The garden area gets quite a few mosquitoes in the evening, and dinner is often nearly full. It is cash only and has a car park. About 250–500 baht per person.
