But for mr.hotsia, this trip to Krabi is not just about the sea that makes the heart flutter. What impressed me equally is “Kook Thewada Restaurant,” a street food hub that’s so satisfying I have to share.

Kook Thewada Restaurant is located in downtown Krabi, not far fromKrabi Morning MarketThis makes it an ideal spot for those wanting to taste authentic local cuisine. I arrived at this restaurant in the evening, enjoying a chill atmosphere by the roadside filled with the lively chatter of vendors and the fragrant aroma of spices wafting to my nose even before stepping inside.

Unique Flavors

My favorite dish is the “Stir-fried Basil with Rice.” At Kook Thewada, it’s a special recipe using fresh ingredients and perfectly balanced seasonings that create a fragrant dish. The flavor is rich yet mellow, not too spicy, perfect for those who enjoy bold tastes while preserving the true essence of Thai herbs.

There’s also a signature dish called “Krabi Hainanese Chicken Rice,” which differs from the Bangkok version because here the chicken is tender and more fragrant with spices. The dipping sauce is perfectly matched. If you get a chance, mr.hotsia recommends trying it inKrabi Hainanese Chicken RiceI’ve eaten it myself and guarantee you’ll be hooked.
