Thailand: Chiang Mai - Sukonthan Buffet

Food, is the most important concern for John (ok, also for me)  in a trip, we both love to try some really local food in some local place, just like raw octopus leg sashimi in Seoul Korea, the best salmon sashimi in New Zealand and etc.

Thailand is my another hometown, the famous tom yum and mango sticky rice no longer make us excited, as Chiang Mai is located in northern Thailand and we hope to dig out some really special place to give a try.

Then Chakree, my Thai friend told i shouldn't missed Sukonthan Buffet, which is the Moo Ga Ta aka hotpot + BBQ buffet in the town. 

I replied that John and I both know about thai BBQ and hotpot (from BBQ Plaza outlet in Malaysia), we're not really into in.

Then he said, if i don't go, i will be very regret, because the restaurant place is huge that i've never seen, there are over 300 choices of foods and great atmosphere.

Most importantly, only 199bath per person exclude alcohol, cheap ain't?!

How to go Sukonthan Buffet?
Get a tuk tuk and show him the address: 46/1 Huay Kaew Road T.Chang Puek A. Muaeng Chiang Mai.

You cant find this restaurant in google map, if the driver doesn't read the address, show him below photo might can help.  


If you think this restaurant is not as huge as i say, wait till you scroll down.

above photo is taken from the right, and this is left.

and this is another section.

                                     
                                       Short clip that i took caused we reach there early

So now you think this restaurant is huge? I read from the other review that written in Mandarin said this restaurant can fit in 1000 people in one times.

Crazy, Thailand is darn hot, why people want to make them hotter by hot pot and BBQ?

Maybe because of the food?

Drinks section, if you don't like the color, there are another section of glass bottle soft drink, take all you want.

uploading all the raw meats to the bar.

Raw foods for BBQ or hotpot are not the only option here, but cooked foods, just like hotel buffet man!

You can get thai, chinese, western, japan and korea taste all in Sukonthan.

Asian ready to eat foods

some fried stuffs.

Don't think they only serve cheap food, you see the huge shrimp yet?
Ok what is you've a sweet tooth or you prefer healthy food?

Got get all the fruits that you like in the fruits section, or take one of each of the dessert they have to fill your stomach!

ice cold fruit, and my cam cant fit all the selection in one shoot

dessert, at least 30 kinds of them.

more cakes.
If you're waiting for the hotpot / BBQ photos, here we go.

The restaurant only use charcoal, and they will light it up in the back of the restaurant, by huge electronic fan because serve to customer.

lighting up the charcoal

put the pan on charcoal and now you're ready to cook your food!

freaking hot pot

and he loves it :D

yum!

If you;re seafood person, get as much as you like.
Well you might think the pot is too small for shell food eg shrimp and crab or shell fish.

The restaurant prepare big BBQ pit for those who cant wait to slow cook the food on the small pan.

Like below.

big BBQ pit

fun to BBQ with stranger.

Ok what if you don't wanna BBQ shell fish but you like it by boil.

Serve yourself!

clam, a lot of clam

boil it!

If you happened to visit Chiang Mai, i strongly recommend this place for nice environment, foods and atmosphere!

Alright there end my Chiang Mai and Pai post, next will be Nepal. FINALLY!
