The room is at 345/1-2 Airport Road, Ban Pet. Fried sour fish is the named plate, a typical 120 to 250 THB. Som tum with fermented fish sauce and salted crab is not on the board, so ask.
Skip this, go here: Peanut som tum in town, 50 to 90 THB, is a different mortar, and Monday is closed at Praprai. The off-board plate is fermented-fish som tum.
