Wild Elephant Terrace Restaurant
Editor's Choice • Riverside Dining

Wild Elephant Terrace

Perched elegantly on elevated wooden platforms right on the banks of the Sok River, Wild Elephant Terrace offers a dining experience like no other. Shaded by ancient rain trees, you'll dine to the peaceful sounds of flowing water and forest birds.

"Their standout dish is the traditional Massaman Beef Curry—slowly simmered for 8 hours with cinnamon, star anise, local palm sugar, and freshly roasted plantation peanuts."
