Great beachfront restaurants in Rayong in and around Mae Ram Phueng

Try out some great seafood restaurants on the Rayong seafront around Mae Ram Phueng that are sure to give you value for money

In today’s post, we’re going to take you to Rayong, a province close to Bangkok that’s a perfect destination for hard-working Bangkokians who don’t have the time for a trip further south but who still want to indulge themselves with some delicious fresh seafood.

We’ve got three fantastic restaurants for you, and any visitor to Rayong looking for local seafood must visit these.

The first restaurant is…

1. Baan Rabeang Mai

Baan Rabeang Mai is one of the best-known restaurants in Ban Phe, and visitors will not regret making the trip as they eat their fill of delightful food, admire the beautiful views of Ko Samed, soak up the seaside ambience, and take advantage of the seemingly endless range of instagrammable spots.

The restaurant’s focus is on ensuring that their food is as fresh as possible. Some of the dishes we recommend include fried ‘suchin’ with sweet chili sauce, which goes down wonderfully, grilled jumbo shrimp, crayfish with garlic, and lobster sashimi.

2. Ja Ung Seafood

This restaurant has been serving great food to visitors to Mae Ram Phueng for 27 years. Diners can pick fresh seafood from the tanks at the front of the restaurant, which can then be made into a bewildering array of different dishes.

Another recommended dish is shrimp in tamarind sauce.

This is one of the restaurant’s best sellers, and for good reason. The richly flavored sweet and sour sauce perfectly matches the crispy flour-free fried shrimp, especially when this is topped off with a covering of fried shallots and dried chili, though if you like your food a little less spicy, you can skip the chili.

If you’re looking for a seafood restaurant in Rayong that has a full menu of spicy soups, papaya salads, and all the normal fried dishes, this is the place for you.

The ingredients are all as fresh as you could hope for, with lobster, blue crab, mud crab, snapper, grouper, and crayfish all served straight from the sea off Rayong.

The quality of the restaurant’s wonderfully fresh ingredients is raised even higher by their dipping sauce, and because this is made from real limes, its sharp, spicy, tartness is the perfect foil for their unbeatable seafood.

Ja Ung Seafood can be found at 1001 Tambol Taphong, Amphoe Muang, Rayong 21000.

Opening hours: 9am-9pm, open every day

Call : 089 938 5275
