Eating Out

Jomtien's dining scene leans heavily on seafood, which is fresh, plentiful, and cheap by Western standards. The beach road is lined with open-air restaurants where you can pick your fish from an ice display and have it grilled or fried to order. Thai staples like pad thai, som tam, and green curry are everywhere, and the street stalls along the night market serve some of the best and cheapest food in the area. A handful of international restaurants cater to the long-stay crowd, with solid Italian, German, and Scandinavian options scattered along the main road.
