action Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Hi, I know I've seen this asked on here before but after a lot of searching I can't seem to find it. If you feel the need to post a comment like, "This has been asked here before a million times you idiot!" Please kindly include a link. So, the title says it all. I just got back from the north and would really like to find this dish in Pattaya. Anyone know where I can? Thank's in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelaway Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 This is a great question! There USED to be a shop at Carrefour's food court that made khao soy but they're gone now. Chiang Mai Khao soy is super-delicious, and there's just GOT to be some place around here that sells it! Sorry that I can't help... but, I hope someone knows.

craigt3365 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Agreed. Had fantastic khao soy in CM and in Bangkok. But have not really found a good restaurant here. Can't wait to hear if somebody knows one. Luckily, wifey does a great job with khao soy...but doesn't use coconut milk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmybkk Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 You're in luck guys. 3rd Road - about 5 doors north of the Buffalo Bar. Mostly sells khanom jeen but also does a pretty mean khao soy - chicken (drumstick) or pork (sliced). As good as it gets in Pattaya I reckon. No signs in English outside - it's next to a visa/lawyer/work permit place. Double shophouse - basic tables with dark wooden stools. Open-fronted with a couple of tables out front. Has parking in front. Khao soy 40-50 Baht. Enjoy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every male relative over 50 (both sides) has had at least a triple heart bypass. Several passed before age 50 due to bad hearts. So I go a bit overboard with regards to food. I'd prefer to err on the safe side. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coconut_milk#Health_effects One of the most prominent components of coconut milk is coconut oil, which the United States Food and Drug Administration,[3]World Health Organization,[4]International College of Nutrition,[5] the United States Department of Health and Human Services,[6]American Dietetic Association,[7]American Heart Association,[8] British National Health Service,[9] and Dietitians of Canada[7] recommend against consuming in significant amounts due to its high levels of saturated fat. Unfortunately, a lot of the food I like here has coconut milk in it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_dishes_using_coconut_milk#Thai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmybkk Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 BTW, one place I've found in Bangkok for a reasonable khao soy is in the Grand Hyatt Hotel on Ratchdamri, A place on the ground floor call You & Me (I think). Last time I was there it was 100 Baht (chicken breast off the bone). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmyd Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Jimmy, Could you please add another landmark or two for me since I don't know the Buffalo Bar. Thanks. Different Jimmy, but it's near and opposite the top of Soi Lengkee (the continuation of Soi Diana Inn), a bit south of there and a few tens of meters south of NY Pizza House and Roo Bar.

highchol Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 its a while ago now, but the Green bottle pub at the Diana Inn used to have it on the lunch time menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I got Khao Soi at the restaurand next to Starbucks (S&C or S&D?) at TukCom building South Pattaya. S & P. It's a huge Thailand middle class Thai CHAIN. That item is something like 130 baht there I think. I'm not a fan of that chain. The food seems corporate and toned down.

Jingthing Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 I think one of the stalls in the "luxury" food court (upper floor not basement) at Pattaya Central Beach Mall had it. Not sure about now as I avoid that place with purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canman Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 As JT said S&P does a version but no where near as good as I remember it in CM. Can you get a good Laksa anywhere in Pattaya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a good Laksa but again, a CHAIN restaurant does that. Secret Recipe. Two locations in Pattaya I think.

jimmybkk Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Jimmy, Could you please add another landmark or two for me since I don't know the Buffalo Bar. Thanks. Just to be sure.... From Pattaya Klang head south on 3rd road. Keep going past the old Xcite disco site on your right, past a neon sign for the Full Love Inn on your left, past Soi Chaiyapoom on your right. The next soi in your right is Soi Lengkee which has a hardware store on one corner and a Mityon-type motorbike shop on the other corner. About 50 metres past Soi Lengkee on your left (still on 3rd Road) is a car rental place and then a row of around 6-8 shophouses.The khao soy place is the second shop in this row - a double unit. At the end of this row is a small soi and after the soi is The Castle fetish club and The Buffalo Bar. Almost directly opposite on the other side of 3rd Road is a coffee shop called something like Coffee Club. If you're driving down 3rd Road and you pass a bar called The Ranch on your right or if you see a sign for The Village Chippy on your left you've gone too far.

JimmyTheMook Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 The khanom jeen shop is between the NY Pizza house and Buffalo Bar - see attached map. The khao soi is good , but far from Chiang Mai good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the journey to the shop is far, but far from Chiang Mai far... Lol. I agree with you, you can't beat some of the khao soy places up there, but I guess in the land of the blind the one eyed man is king... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seadoo Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 S&P have a nice kow soi. I was in CNX last few days and thats what I mostly eat in the evenings from local Thai restaurants there and the S&P one is almost as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millard Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Is khao soy more of a restaurant item or do street vendors also offer this dish? Like do those mobile noodle carts offer khao soy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chakatee Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Khao Soy: La Ferme (next to Woodlands Resort) serves a great Khao Soy. A little further of track but great Khao Soy for just about 49THB or so on Sukhumvit Soi 15, right across the technical college, only during weekends though.

jombom Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Khao Soi is actually a Burmese dish, now adopted into Lanna cuisine. I eat it fairly regularly at a little Lanna restaurant on third road. Coming from Jomtien on Thapraya rd, turn right onto 3rd road. Straight through at first set of traffic lights and about a 100 mtrs further along there is a small car park set back on the left hand side. The Lanna restaurant is beside it on the southern side. They do Khao Soi with and without the coconut milk, as you wish. The noodle is about 15 mm wide. Beware the place opens early, is packed between 12 and 1pm and closes when the food is gone, often before 3pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
