Just found a new place called “San Kram” and I’m super impressed! 😍 Every dish was delicious: fresh, flavorful, and well-prepared. The price is a bit on the high side, but the portions are big and the quality totally makes it worth it! 😋✨ There’s parking behind the restaurant too; super convenient! 🚗💨
5 stars!! I have never try the sea food is so delicious like this. Home recipes, seafood you can taste it super fresh and clean. My family and I enjoyed a lot and we will definitely go again!😍
An easy to spot restaurant along the main road, nice and clean looking proper Thai restaurant. Good place to have a meal to beat the heat and humidity They have live seafood as well. They do have a few interesting dishes, like minced meat with some kind of water plant I have no idea what it was. Food here, taste-wise, was not that exhilarating, just very average. The fried rice was mushily mundane without the signature nor aftertaste of blazing fiery cooking. Same for the minced pork dish, as if it was very gently cooked. The slipper lobsters has not got the garlicky flavors infused into the flesh. I bet they have better dishes, and we just did not have a chance to savor them. It was a quick get it over with meal as a result.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
