Bangla Road Restaurants
Where to Eat in Bangla Road
Soi Bangla represents the busiest and most prolific part of this section of the Beach Road. Heading away from the beach, this 500-metre strip of bars, shops, tailors, restaurants, naughty venues and fast food joints is the heart of Patong Town. In spite of its tacky appearance and risqué atmosphere there are a few good dining establishments to be found there.
Mengrai Seafood
For many people this simple and cheap food court comes as a surprise as it is located in the middle of an expensive area. It houses more than a dozen food venders in basic setups along both sides of this very narrow soi. If you are travelling on a budget, this place will do you just fine. They have toilets and a shower service too, as it is very close to the beach.
Location: Opposite Soi Eric, look for the big sign on the top.Cuisine: Thai/seafood

Rio
It might seem an unusual dining venue, underneath a Go-Go joint but to many people’s surprise, Rio does offer a great value meal. It is one of Patong's favorite restaurants for expats so they must have done something right.
