Mamma Noi Restaurant, Karon

[madmitch]

I know this is quite a popular cheap and cheerful restaurants with a number of expats as well as tourists.

If you use the place you will know Goong, the large lady that has worked there for several years. Sadly she collapsed this morning inside the restaurant. A few people administered CPR whilst waiting for the ambulance but she was taken away looking pretty lifeless.

She is currently on life support at Vachira Hospital but is apparently brain-dead. They are just waiting for the family to arrive. I saw her this afternoon and it was hard to believe what they said as she had colour in her face (unlike this morning) and was snoring. The saddest part is she's only 26.

I know a number of posters on here will know Mamma Noi and Goong and that's why I posted.

When I hear more I will update this.

The one near Sunrise Divers was sold by Noi some years ago wasn't it? Is that the one your talking about?

Yes. But it's still kept the name and practically the same menu.

Is this the Italian/Thai style place opposite the Siam Commercial Bank on the side road off Patak Rd ?

I eat there frequently. Bit of a shock to me if it's the lady I know there.
