Local Favorite Restaurant in Pattaya: Somtum Nam Muang

N Pattaya Rd, Muang Pattaya, Bang Lamung District, Chon Buri 20150, Thailand Open daily from 10:30 AM to 8:30 PM This local favorite near Pattaya Terminal 21 has a separate air-conditioned room where you can choose to sit. We ordered Pad Thai, Khao Moo Yang, and Tangmo Ban. The Khao Moo Yang sauce was a bit sweet and salty, so it was good to add some rice to eat with it. Since it lacked a spicy kick, adding chili seasoning made it less greasy and paired well with the meat. The Tangmo Ban was plentiful and reasonably priced at 40 baht, cheaper than street vendors. It was served in a disposable container, making it convenient to take any leftovers with you. The best dish here was the Pad Thai. I didn't have high expectations, but it was basic yet satisfying, with plump shrimp and a good texture. I couldn't believe it was only 65 baht. It was definitely cheaper compared to the city center of Pattaya. I personally liked the roadside atmosphere. The next day, we had planned to go somewhere else, but it suddenly rained, so we revisited this place near our accommodation. The rain added a cozy ambiance, making it even more enjoyable.
