At the north end of town, busy, semi-open-air roadside Kaab Gluay is a hit for its authentic, affordable Thai food, with switched-on staff to match the unpretentious dining under a huge roof with ceiling fans. Expect red-curry prawns, chicken satay, sweet-and-sour fish, deep-fried honeyed chicken, classic noodles and stir-fries, and 30-plus takes on spicy Thai salads.
