Krua Kampan
ครัวกำปั่นเขาใหญ่
A waterside Thai restaurant at the entrance of Kirimaya Resort, once recommended in the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand. Its coconut-milk river snail curry is the signature, and prices are friendly.
Krua Kampan sits beside Route 3052 to Wang Nam Khiao, at the entrance of Kirimaya Resort. The semi-open waterside space has an old sailing boat at its center. The owner worked at a bank for about twenty years before returning home to start in a roadside stall, and the restaurant was once recommended in the Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand. Signature dishes include coconut-milk river snail curry, shrimp cakes and spicy stir-fried pork cartilage. Other highlights are stir-fried sunflower sprouts and a salted egg and shrimp paste dip. The space is roomy and pet-friendly. Parking is tight at peak times, while weekday lunches are quieter. Expect to spend about THB 100 to 250 per person.
