Eatery at Pakchong-Khao Yai

While we were at Pakchong, it was convenience to eat out since Khun Eksun home is not far from Pakchong Market. We had breakfast, Thai-style coffee, Pra-Tong-Koh, soft-boiled egg, and dished eaten with boiled rice, at the market. I also bought Chinese sausage, dried and crispy pork from Je Huang which recommended by his friend as souvenir.

In addition, Khun Eksun leaded us to 3 restaurants. First is Country Kitchen which the owner are Bangkokian and come to take care the place every weekend. The place is on the road to Khao National Park. It offers good food, such as Fish Steak in Black Pepper Sauce, Deep Fried Pra Tapien, Fried Chicken with Crispy Lemongrass, and Grilled River Prawn. I like Fish Steak.
Second is Primo Posto del Khao Yai which has outstanding building that invite visitors to stop by and take pictures. The place is located on the road to Granmonte. We went there for lunch and it offers only salad and 2 set menu, Italian Sausage with French Fried and Spaghetti with pork and tomato sauce. Since Khun Eksun does not eat pork and there could not prepare other food so he could eat only appetizer, spinach rolls. I would say the food tastes fair, and its Italian sausage tastes like Bangkok Ham's.
Third is Ruan Thai Restaurant, located at Pakchong area, and it offers ordinary Thai food. We ordered Salted egg in Palo sauce, Tom Yum Kung, Fried Sea Bass. There were a few customers at the restaurant when we went there because that evening, the 2 Thai boxers contended for Gold Olympic Medals and Pakchong is the birthplace of a Thai Boxer's wife, so they all went to her place to cheer their hero and eat free food.
