Pad Thai Is A Safe Bet. It’s the first thing I order when trying a new Thai restaurant. It’s considered a national dish, so common that if a chef can’t get it right, you know your better off skipping the rest of the menu. They make a terrific version with shrimp at SSB Coffee food stall in front of the 7-Eleven, corner of Soi 4 and Jomtien Beach Road. Just 60 baht, under $2 US. A big, fresh, salad of tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, lettuce, and onion is served with a big thick thwack of mayonnaise on the side for $2.25 ish. Club soda about 60 cents. #cheapeats #thaifood #jomtienpattaya #jimbozpennypinchermichelintour
