Today I want to tell you about a wonderful place with delicious and inexpensive
Thai food!
- Torpak Boat Noodle (I'll leave the dot on worldmappin.com).
I'll say right away: we visit this cafe very often, especially at lunchtime, for the last three years. The establishment is aimed at locals, and you rarely meet foreigners here — most likely, because of its not very convenient location. It is located away from tourist routes and looks rather inconspicuous from the road. Even a small sign attached to the nearest pole is written only in Thai.
But despite this, at lunchtime and especially on weekends, it is completely packed! This is the very place that does not need advertising — just try the food once, and you will want to come back again. We ourselves found out about it on a recommendation and now we are telling our friends.
I did not plan to specifically review this place, so all the photos were taken on a phone.
📍 Information about the cafe
- ⏰ Open daily from 9:30 to 18:00.
- 🍜 Main menu: soups with different types of meat and noodles + various Thai salads.
- 💵 Average bill: 100–200 ฿ (~3–6 $).
- 🛍 You can order takeaway.
👩🍳 About the owner
I would especially like to tell you about the owner of the establishment. She has Chinese roots, and despite her age, she is incredibly energetic and friendly. She not only manages the process, but also actively participates in the work: she helps in the kitchen, monitors order and even takes orders herself if she sees that the staff is running out of time. In the photo, you can see her at the cash register.
I believe that this is the approach that allows us to keep the level of the establishment at a high level. When the owner is personally involved in all processes, the cafe works like clockwork.
🏡 Atmosphere and interior
- Open kitchen — always perfectly clean.
- Spacious hall — large distances between tables, high ceiling.
- Traditional decor — wicker elements, lots of greenery.
- Mini waterfall at the entrance — creates a pleasant atmosphere.
- Donation box for orphans — a good initiative from the owners.
🍽 Our order
This time I took fried rice with chicken, and my wife — chicken soup with crystal noodles. Soy sprouts and fresh herbs are served with the soup, which you can take in unlimited quantities.
For dessert, we tried an unknown fruit, which is served in a bowl of ice water, as well as my favorite coconut ice cream with incredibly tasty nuts.
🔥 Result
The price-quality ratio here is top notch. If you are in Pattaya, be sure to visit this Thai cafe - it will definitely not disappoint you!
For all the dishes we paid 234 ฿ (7$) - excellent!!!
Several photos of the menu with prices:
💡 By the way, I saw a banana flower in the backyard. The owner told me that it is also used in cooking. Now I have a goal - to try a dish with this unusual ingredient.

I write my texts myself, correct mistakes and translate via ChatGPT (which is not a violation on Hive).
Thank you for sharing these moments with me! Until new stories and new holidays!
