Enjoy specialty dishes on Hon Thom island


Go to the eateries near the beach area, which specialize in serving fresh seafood prepared on site at a fairly cheap price. One thing that I want to emphasize to you is that you should look for popular restaurants, because they are less likely to be cut down.


In addition, you can walk along the coast, look for seafood you like, because the people here live by fishing, and then ask for processing shops. If you have a lot of money, you can go to restaurants, eat buffets or for more convenience, you can choose snacks.
