LEK SEAFOOD @ CHONG NONSI BTS STATION

This is one very local and no frills Thai seafood restaurant that is super easy to get to. Alight at Chong Nonsi BTS station, exit at the side with the two hotels and it is about a hundred meters away from the hotels. 

We visited it last year when we were staying at Chong Nonsi and we felt that our meal was thoroughly yummy and very reasonably priced. The menu is in English and the staff was very helpful in suggesting dishes too. For those who dislike going al fresco, like me, they have an air-conditioned section, while the other tables spill out to blend in with the hustle and bustle of Narathiwat Road.

Roll up your sleeves, grab a plastic chair and try their super big grilled prawns, stir fried baby clams with basil, grilled fish with salt and herbs in banana leaf, deep fried baby crabs, shell fish of any kind and Thai style steamed catfish with chilli and lime. And to go with the local flow, beer should be drunk with ice.
