Land of Smiles

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

If you notice my posts I hardly post anything about the southern haven Hua Hin. Well that's because to get to Hua Hin one has to drive through Rama 2 highway and then Petchaburi, now that because this "highway" is alway jam due to the road condition not as good as like driving to Pattaya where you have proper tollway. Anyway sometimes I still have to go there for work or some good reasons like Sunday where I had to go to Cha Am to attend the wedding. Colleagues brought me to a great restaurant known as Daeng Seafood at this location - https://goo.gl/maps/t1s7gpQdjPE2

Here's the restaurant and some food we ordered
