Things to do in Chanthaburi
1. Chanthorn Restaurant

Reviewed By Charn P - Bangkok, Thailand
The Chanthorn Restaurant and the Chanthorn Phochana which listed a #1 and #2 are actually the same dining outlet. The sad thing is that it should not call ' Chanthorn' since it represents the name of the town which is Chanthaburi. The unnecessary confusion in this growing town need to be minimized.
Our visit to Chanthorn Restaurant or Chanthorn Phochana or their new branch at Chanthorn Maharat was disappointing. We drove to the restaurant which was near to our hotel and decided to park our car at the hotel and walk back for our dinner. However to our disappointment, the restaurant stop taking guests when half of the tables were empty. We decided to order take-home for our dinner at the hotel. The dishes ordered were suitable for most local but would be unsuitable for foreign visitors.

This is a great place to visit when you are in or about the Chanthaburi area. We visited on a week day afternoon and the restaurant was not busy, so we got to really enjoy the view and take our time. A great setting with great food. Will come back!
3. Yai Tu Seafood

Yak Tu Seafood is located 30 km from the town of Chanthaburi. Unless you have your own transportation, reaching the restaurant is not easy. However for fresh seafood lovers, the trip is more than worthwhile. We had our lunch after our morning sightseeing and found the restaurant was still rather busy with several tables in the process of finishing their meals. We also witnessed seafood merchants that brought their various live seafood to sell. In the casual dining mood, we ordered variety of seafood of our liking and top-up with few other fresh seafood of the day. The freshness of the seafood and the simple cooking of Yai Tu made a fantastic lunch. We definitely have to return the next time we pass this way.

Chanthorn Phochana has been one of the province landmark, eatery-wise. It's authentic Thai dishes include Namprik, spicy Mangosteen salad, Kaeng Pa with various meat choices, among others. Service was okay. The old owner was quite friendly.
Worth a try if you happen to be visiting the town and need to try some authentic Thai food.

We went there several times in late 2013 and early 2014, they just finished renewing...it's better bigger for more customers. It's next to the estuary. They severed fast, cooked fast and delicious. Toilets were ok. Location, if you are coming from city, it's far. But if you are starving after swimming, you can visit here.
6. Puja Seafood

Reviewed By Ed S - Chanthaburi, Thailand
We have been here several times, the seafood is great & the cooks do a good job on every dish. The staff are good but during the last 3 years the prices have gone up a lot & why not when I have seen many vans & Tour buses with a packed house on any day but on some days you may be the only ones.
If Puja is packed & its lunch then keep going to the end at the pier & try the place on the water.
If its dinner then try a little mum & dad place that is one of the best Seafood places in Chanthaburi called Surin.
It is 1 soi back on the right before you get to the pier It is a little place on the corner 1 block in. Just park on the left. You must try the Fish & veg dish called Pla Pa ( it sounds more like Pla Bra) & the Shrimp in lime & garlic. They only speak Thai but you will get what you order off the menu or have a Thai friend write your order. I am the only Farang in the place each time I visit

Ok this is a bit biased cos my friends play in the band at The Craze House.
But in all honesty, for decent and chill hangout, with live music while you wine and dine, The Craze House offers all of these and more. Stay for a meal, hangout for more and leave a happy and relaxed person.

Food was quite good. Location was better - by the river. This place is done up in a kind of local style, and can be considered a 'boutique' restaurant. Staff were so-so and not too friendly.

Reviewed By Per L - Umea, Sweden
Very nice restaurant situated at the riverside. And decorated inside with things from the old gems and jewellery history.
Big menu with many influences from the italian kitchen. The food taste really good and very friendly and quick staff.
But.....they should have my last fifth star if the dishes was not so small as they are....especially compared to the price level. Especially the pizzas are veeery small..like a very thin and crispy Sandwich.
But taste very good.
