CROK TONG
ISSAN RESTAURANT
PATONG BEACH
Crok Tong Issan Restaurant in Patong is owned by our good friend Bee and is on Soi Klong Bang Wat which runs off Prabaramee Rd in Patong.
The food here is all Issan and this restaurant is very popular with the locals due to the authentic tasty food, friendly service, prices and their spicy chili sauces which are all home made.
Most meals are around 100baht, Leo is 50baht a bottle and Singha 60baht. There are no wine or spirits for sale here but you can take your own. If you are there at the right time of year you might also be lucky to have a taste of some very expensive Bee Larvae!
Make sure you try the Pepper Prawns dish, it is sensational and the sauce with the duck would have to be the hottest sauce I have ever had. The food here is not toned down for tourists, so if you are after some authentic Issan food then Crok Tong is the place to go. The restaurant opens at 6pm and closes anytime up to 4am.
Soi Klong Bang Wat runs off Prabaramee Rd in Patong. So if your heading towards Patong Hill go past the petrol station and school on your right hand side then you will see a 7/11 with a small soi/street running along side it. The next street after this one is where you will find Crok Tong Restaurant.
