Poo Restaurant

4.3(652 reviews)$$$$

Tucked into the Tambon Thani area of Mueang Sukhothai, Poo Restaurant draws a steady crowd of locals and travellers looking for an affordable, no-fuss meal in a region better known for its ancient temples than its dining scene. With over 650 Google reviews and a solid 4.3 rating, it has established itself as a reliable stop for those exploring the Sukhothai area. The restaurant operates squarely in the budget category, making it an appealing option for travellers watching their spending without wanting to compromise on a satisfying meal. The relaxed, casual atmosphere is typical of local Thai eateries in this part of northern Thailand, where the focus is firmly on the food rather than the décor. Poo Restaurant is open seven days a week from 11:00 to 22:00, giving visitors plenty of flexibility whether they are stopping in for a midday break from sightseeing at Sukhothai Historical Park or winding down with a late dinner. As the restaurant does not appear to have an active website, visitors are advised to contact them directly or simply arrive in person. Given its consistent popularity, arriving slightly before peak meal times — particularly around noon and early evening — is a practical way to avoid a wait.

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.
