Maithy

Maithy Pool Bar & Restaurant is a hilltop restaurant in Bang Rak, set above the bay at UniQue Boutique Resort & Residences. The dining area looks across Big Buddha, the coastline and the islands beyond, giving guests a clear view from late morning through sunset and into the evening.

The menu covers Thai cooking and modern European dishes, with breakfast, lunch and dinner served in an open-plan poolside setting. Guests often arrive in time for a drink before sunset, then stay as the lights begin to appear around Bang Rak below.

Cocktails and wine are a big part of the experience, with the bar positioned to make the most of the view. Tables sit beside the pool and across the terrace, so the restaurant works well for a slow lunch, sunset drinks or dinner under the night sky.

Maithy is worth the climb for the setting alone. It suits couples, visiting friends and anyone looking for a meal that feels removed from the traffic and bustle below without travelling far from Bang Rak or Big Buddha.
