About this spot
Cafe del Mar is one of Patong's best spots — the kind of place where locals eat regularly but few tourists discover. We found it so you don't have to scroll through a hundred food blogs.
💡 Tips before you go
- Point and smile works everywhere — most places have picture menus
- "Ao nee krap/ka" (I'll have this) is all you need
- "Mai pet" = not spicy, "pet nit noi" = a little spicy
- Carry cash for street food — cards only work at malls and upscale spots
