So you\u2019ve driven by tons of local Thai restaurants and you\u2019ve always wanted to try one, but you don\u2019t know how to sort the good from the bad? This post is for you (and so is this blog!). When it comes to local cheap food on Samui, the good is great but the bad is terrible so this blog will, over time, point you to nothing but the greatest Thai meals you can find on Samui for under 50 Baht. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
On today\u2019s menu\u2026..Tom Yum Soup. When you think Tom Yum, you think of the delicious blend of spicy and sour soup that is normally served as Tom Yum Gung (\u2018Gung\u2019 is the Thai word for Shrimp). It\u2019s one of Thailand\u2019s most famous soups and you\u2019d normally eat it as just one of several dishes that you\u2019re sharing with your friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it can be a meal unto itself. And there\u2019s a little place tucked away in the North-East of the island that makes a version of Tom Yum that is not only a great meal but one that you\u2019ll be remembering a month later when you\u2019re back home heating up another frozen lasagna for dinner. You may actually shed a tear that night as you remember this bowl of warm Thai goodness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
First off, the location. It\u2019s located on the road that runs from Chaweng to Choeng Mon. One of my favorite things about the North-East of Samui is that you can get from Chaweng to Fisherman\u2019s Village and everything in between without touching the ring road, with so much to see and do as you lazily drive around the area. So just a few minutes before you enter Choeng Mon (driving from Chaweng) keep your eyes peeled for this little ramshackle place with a blue roof on the right side of the road. It\u2019s just past the money exchange place and\u2026..oh screw it\u2026..I\u2019ll post a quick video and Google Map Pin cuz this place would be impossible to find otherwise! Here ya go:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
