Mum Aroi

Pattaya


This long-established restaurant, perched beside the sea in the fishing-village end of Naklua, is regarded as one of Pattaya's best for seafood. Old fishing boats sit marooned offshore and crisp sea breezes envelop diners as they devour fantastic Thai food. Try sôm·đam þoo (spicy papaya salad with crab) and þlah mèuk nêung ma-now (squid steamed in lime juice).
