Had simple dinner with seafood Wat Tan Hor and Fried rice with pork and less spicy Tom Yum soup to enjoy for a raining day. Cook did followed order for less spicy as it was an enjoyable and delicious Tom yum with fresh seafood. A Chinese restaurant with authentic Thai cooking enjoy in breezy and clean environment. The price came up to 320 bath, reasonably priced.

An affordable Thai restaurant with a large selection of dishes to choose from. The fried kale with crispy pork has a hint of spiciness to it, the flavour is quite balanced. The seafood Tom yum soup is tangy with a good spicy taste. The seafood was a few slices of fish, some cuttlefish and prawns. The seafood was fresh. The garlic fried Black pomfret is fresh and tasty. A good meal for a hungry traveller on a cold night. And the total bill for me came up to Baht 530. Very reasonable. Can eat.
