🌤️ When visiting Samae San, you absolutely can't miss the local favorite, "Jae Phung Seafood Samae San." This unassuming beachfront restaurant boasts an unexpectedly amazing atmosphere. A cool sea breeze blows constantly 🌬️💙, and enjoying a relaxing meal while watching fishing boats go by is incredibly enjoyable 📸. 🦐 The seafood is incredibly fresh, practically caught straight from the boat. The shrimp, clams, crabs, and fish are all large, with firm, naturally sweet meat – and absolutely no fishy smell 👏. This restaurant is famous for its salt-baked shrimp, which are huge and succulent 🧂🍤 with a bouncy texture until the last bite. Anyone who enjoys fresh, sweet, boiled or steamed seafood will love it. 🐚 The boiled cockles are also fantastic! Beautifully cooked, not too raw or overcooked, and dipping them in the restaurant's seafood sauce is simply amazing 👍🌶️ – spicy, rich, and perfectly balanced with sour, salty, and sweet flavors. 🦀 The steamed blue crab is another highlight. The meat is firm, sweet, and incredibly tender, and easy to peel without sticking to the shell. So delicious, I couldn't stop eating! 😍 The garlic fried dishes were so fragrant that the people at the next table turned to look. 💸 The prices are surprisingly reasonable, and the portions are generous – some dishes were surprisingly big! 🫶 Perfect for eating with friends, family, or a couple looking for a change of scenery. ✨ If you're in Samae San, whether you're going snorkeling, boating, or visiting Koh Raet and Koh Kham, I highly recommend ending your day with lunch here. Everything is delicious, fresh, and great value! 🌊🦐 📍 Je Pung Seafood Samae San – Authentic fresh seafood straight from the fishermen. I fall in love every time I visit! ❤️ #ChonburiTravel
