Rap Lom

Prachuap Khiri Khan


Popular with the locals, the pàt pŏng gà·rèe þoo (crab curry) comes with big chunks of sweet crab meat, and the yam tá-lair (seafood salad) is spicy and zesty. On the non-oceanic side of things, there's banana blossom salad.

It's 350m past the bridge on the left fronting Ao Prachuap Beach.
