Mitra Restaurant in Chaweng
A couple of weeks when my sister was visiting, we visited the Mitra Restaurant in
Chaweng, which is more or less at the same location as
Pee Soon's place, which used to be an absolute favourite for a few years.
The night we went had dinner here, I didn't take any pictures of the front of the
restaurant, hence why it took a while before I post this blog entry. It's located if you take a right where the one way system starts in
Chaweng and after about 6 or 700 meters it at the your left hand on the corner of a small area that houses several restaurants (including Pee Soon), just before the 7-11, the one located on the road to the departure area of the airport.
The food is good and some of the dishes we had included this
Hoi Lai Paht Prik Phao หอยลายผัดพริกเผา aka clams stir fried with roasted chili paste. I just love this dish!
A dish I've been introduced to just over a year ago, Khai Kem Pad Pak (Salted eggs in Thai are; ไข่เค็ม) or
Salted eggs with stir fried vegetables. This became a fave very quickly, although I find it hard to get a good quality plate to my liking.
A very nice, classic
Tom Kha Kai soup ต้มข่าไก่ or chicken and coconut milk soup. This was a good one!
This is one of those places where you can get good and cheap local fare, visited by both Thais and Westerners alike and it's always a good sign if the locals frequent a place. Definitely worthwhile a visit.

If I remember correctly, Nathon started this but Fisherman Village took over the plan and made it a very successful re-occurring event in it's 2 streets.
Get there early but even than, parking will be a bit of a problem so be prepared to walk a few hundred meters to the entrance. Once there, the atmosphere is very laid back and at various points you can sit, kick back and have a drink or two and a bite to eat.
Thai food is all over the place, no surprise there but also one or two of the more expensive restaurants join in and offer tastes off their menu for a decent price. The picture above has Khao Gliap, Thai sweets on offer, as fresh as they can be made straight on the spot.
Some areas have music or other forms of entertainment, like the kids above who perform a classic Thai dance all dressed up and ready to go!
When in Thailand do as the Thais and that involves lots of Thai food! Here's a stand offering Ho Mok Pla ห่อหมกปลา and various other Ho Moks. A real treat and a nice variation on your daily Pad Thai! The nice thing that I liked about this Walking Street is the variety of freshly made food and plenty of local things to be had as well.
