Isaan food in Krabi

Posted by admin on July 27th, 2010 filed in Uncategorized

Despite its lengthy distance from the north eastern region of Thailand known as Isaan, Krabi is a great place to enjoy Isaan cuisine.

Isaan food can be found throughout Thailand and is normally very authentic – thanks to the vast number of Isaan natives who have moved away from their home turf.

Som tam (papaya salad) is the most popular dish: is a delicious mix of unripe shredded papaya, chillies, garlic, peanuts and dried squid. Som tam is always served with sticky rice and a selection of fresh crunchy vegetables and fragrant leaves.

Other dishes include a tasty minced meat or fish creation known as laab, plus a variety of barbequed meats and sausages.

Loso Restaurant is the Krabi local’s favourite. It’s is a cool relaxing bamboo hut, offering a good selection of dishes and reasonable standard of service.

The restaurant is located on Krabi Road, next door to Kwan Music Shop; most taxi drivers and locals should be able to point you in the right direction.
