Pupen Seafood

"Located at the quiet, far end of Jomtien Beach, Pupen Seafood—which translates to 'live crab'—is beloved for its unpretentious vibe and exceptional catches. What started as a small beach hut in the 1980s has grown into a bustling open-air dining hall that serves up some of the finest crab curries and grilled river prawns in Chon Buri. It's the ultimate spot for a relaxed, authentic Thai seafood feast."
