Nueng Puma Thale Phao Ramkhamhaeng 24 หนึ่งปูม้า ทะเลเผา รามคำแหง 24 แยก 2

Nueng Puma Thale Phao, branch 1, is a large seafood house on Thawon Thawat Road (Soi Ramkhamhaeng 24 Yaek 2), just before the tunnel to Phatthanakan. Puma is the blue swimmer crab, and the shop seats more than 150: the ground floor is air-conditioned and the upper floor is open-air. Wongnai ranks it 26th of almost 10,000 seafood restaurants in Bangkok.

The menu prices on Wongnai: half a kilo of steamed blue swimmer crab is 450 baht, half a kilo of grilled prawns 350, grilled tiger prawns 850, butter-baked scallops 300, squid stir-fried with salted egg 285, prawns baked with glass noodles 270, a medium crab fried rice 200 and baked mussels 130. The crab fried rice is what people talk about most, with a warning that the portions are big. Reviewers also order sea bass fried with fish sauce, crab meat stir-fried with bird's-eye chilli, crab in curry powder and sour curry with fish roe.

Wongnai's bracket is 251 to 500 baht a head, though reviewers report anything from 101 to 1,000 depending on how much crab goes on the table. It gets crowded at meal times and the car park in front is small. Open daily 10:00 to 22:00; Google gives 4.4 from 1,445 reviews.
