Korat Thai Tea shop – a hidden gem of 50 yo.

This is a small place in a soi that a Thai friend of mine showed me. It’s located directly in the soi beside Klang Plaza 1. The shop is closed on Sunday. It normally opens in the morning (not sure what time) and closes around 3:30pm.

The Thai Tea is delicious, sweet, 15 baht for a bag. What a treat!!! I was told this place is opened for more than 50 years and it is so good, you might see a line up in front of this place. A must try in Korat because you won’t see much of these places in the future.

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.
