kokopelli Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Maybe this has been posted before, but, if not, try Rin Kitchen in Pattaya for some good Thai food at a reasonable price. Easy to find, just turn left at the 7-11. Ok, it is slighty more complicated than that! Take the road from South Pattaya toward Jomtien, Thappraya Rd, and turn left at 7-11 onto Soi 7. Soi 7 is a few hundred meter past the overpass over Thappraya Rd. For reference, Mike's Mexican Restaurant is on Soi 5 and Sansuk Sauna is on Soi 9. So these are easy landmarks. Rin Kitchen is a hundred meters down Soi 7 on the right side. There is an open air section with picnic style tables and benches plus indoor seating but no AC. Popular with Europeans who seem to stay at hotels in that area. Also many farang eat there with their Thai guys. Very popular in high season but easy to find seating during the current low. A good selection of Thai food with reasonable prices. Easy to converse with no loud music or loud customers. Quote
Guest gwm4sian Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I would agree with all you say about the food, but unfortunately you have the address wrong. Rin Kitchen is on Soi 9, the soi that does run down the side of the 2nd 7/11. The newer (just opened) 7/11 is on the corner of soi 7 Sansuk Sauna and the excellent Cafe des Amis are down Soi 11 It's easy to get things wrong, even the map on the Sansuk Sauna site has mistakes on it.

kokopelli Posted July 28, 2010 Author Posted July 28, 2010 Yes, Soi 9. My mistake. So many 7-11s to confuse the traveler. I might add that on opposite side of Thappraya Rd, opposite of Soi 5 is a steak/meat restaurant by name of Enjoy Andre. Casual outdoor seating. Popular with Europeans. Sometimes good and sometimes ??? There is a small sign ANDRE on the corner of the soi leading to the restaurant. Quote
