Tri Café and Restaurant
A dependable sit-down meal in Nang Rong, open all day, handy either side of a Phanom Rung run.
Nang Rong dominates this list, with six of the ten there, and a fair few are cheap khao kha moo shops that open early and feed locals all day. Tri Café and Restaurant takes the top spot. The rest sit in the mid-range, from a riverside spot to a steakhouse and a seafood BBQ buffet.
