Traditional boat noodles are served here with various toppings in a bold and savoury soup. We also recommend the spicy boiled pork and pork condiments, which have an intensely flavoured sauce and the aroma of fried garlic.

With a limited menu, the kitchen excels in seafood, Thai food and home-made curries with bold, rich flavours. The crab, shrimp, clams and fish are served ultra-fresh at reasonable prices, with rare catches often appearing on the menu. The restaurant doesn't open if the line-catch on that day is not successful. Booking a week in advance is necessary.

The go-to spot in Pattaya for pork offal soup with boiled sweet leaf bush, this eatery draws inspiration from Thai cuisine nationwide to offer a plethora of quick street food dishes. From the many noodle and rice options, the stir-fried glass noodles with seafood stand out.

Simplicity and quality go hand in hand at this hidden gem with an intimate atmosphere. Experience food in its most authentic form thanks to skilfully prepared fresh ingredients. The bold yet nuanced stir-fried black squid ink delivers an intense, textured exploration of the sea's flavours.

This authentic Isan eatery under a PVC tent grills chicken, meat, and pork over charcoal with traditional flair. The owner's passion is palpable as she communicates animatedly with her team. The meat is well-executed and retains its juiciness.

In a vintage decor featuring wooden accents, music from the 1980s and 1990s sets the mood. At this locally renowned Thai restaurant, the chef-owner's uniquely creative menu boasts intensely flavoured, unapologetically spicy dishes – though milder versions are available upon request. Seafood is the star, with fresh, expertly cooked offerings served at perfect temperatures. Instead of regular rice, we suggest ordering the signature fried rice with salt.
