Baan Mai Chay Nam in Pak Chong Restaurant

This place is amazing: Clearly one of the most beautiful restaurant in Isaan. You can’t see the place from the entrance. There is a large parking as this place is well known. The location of this place on Google Map is here: http://goo.gl/maps/ZNPLU I But when you are inside, watch out! Not only is it a restaurant, but the location is amazing. Not only the location is wonderful, but it is like a museum! Objects from the past everywhere. You won’t regret your visit, unless is it fully packed. The river beside the restaurant makes it a unique place to visit. And food is wonderful. Truly another gem in Isaan. One of the best restaurant you can find in Northeast Thailand. If you are around Pak Chong, take a detour and visit this place. You won’t be disappointed. If you like in Nakhon Ratchasima or Sikhiu and never been there, SHAME ON YOU!!! But on weekends, it can be crowded. Better to go on week days if you can.   More pictures here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/50651722@N03/sets/72157647865017113/ I believe this is their website: http://www.banmaichaynam.com/

Visitor Tips

Located in Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat), this is one of the many dining options available to visitors and expats in the Isaan region of Thailand. When visiting restaurants in Korat, it is customary to order several dishes to share. Most restaurants in this area serve both Thai and international cuisine, and staff often speak some English.

Getting There

Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) is located approximately 250 km northeast of Bangkok. You can reach Korat by bus from Bangkok’s Mo Chit terminal (about 3.5 hours), by train from Hua Lamphong station, or by minivan from Chatuchak. Tuk-tuks and songthaews (shared trucks) are the most common local transport within the city.

About Isaan Cuisine

The Isaan region of northeastern Thailand has its own distinct culinary tradition, influenced by Lao and Khmer cultures. Signature dishes include som tam (spicy papaya salad), larb (spiced minced meat salad), sticky rice (khao niao), and grilled chicken (gai yang). Food in Isaan tends to be spicier and more sour than central Thai food, using ingredients like padaek (fermented fish sauce) and fresh herbs.
