Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood

Lunch by the Bay
Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood
Mum Aroi Pattaya Seafood Restaurant is on the waterfront in Naklua. At low tide the view is not very attractive & the restaurant itself resembles a large barn. Put all that aside & just enjoy the fabulous fresh seafood & quick efficient service.
A big tin shed
The customers who regularly eat here would be 95% Thai, mainly because tourists would never walk past or hear about it.

Either catch a Baht bus from the Dolphin roundabout or just hire a taxi. Believe me it’s worth the effort.
What about the food you ask?
Fresh, reasonably priced & lots to choose from.
Clams with lots of garlic
Delicious, in Australia we call them pippies.
Prawns cooked to perfection
Fresh & cooked to perfection.
Why are they are so fresh?
Shortly before they arrive at your table they are happily swimming around without a care in the world. 🙂
Salted fish, a Thai specialty.
Thai’s have mastered salted fish, one of their many terrific dishes.

Being an amateur camera enthusiast I’m more than happy with the low tide mudflats of Naklua, it provides so many more photo opportunities.
Can you imagine the “for sale” sign?
Needs a little work. 🙂

That’s my late great friend Larry Krausz who sadly passed away in January 2017 after suffering a major stroke. We were friends for nearly 30 years & I think of him often.
Pineapples & Melons
So it doesn’t just sell seafood. 🙂
Fresh crabs
Always a battle to eat but well worth the fight. 🙂
Not attractive at low tide
However the food is so good you won’t even notice the mud flats.
Sabai Wing Soi 1, 3 swimming pools and nice rooms, 100 meters from Central Marina Pattaya Shopping Mall, great value at only $23 usd per night as of August 15. I live in the high-rise in the background, Markland. For a great room rate book here.
My history, particularly over the last 30 years is dominated by overseas travel. I sold my home in Australia October 20th 2011 and have have been living in Thailand since then. I don’t know where the time has gone? It seems like you go to sleep one night, wake up the next morning, and 20 years have flashed by. Not sure how many years I have left, however I have enjoyed a wonderful charmed life, and if it all ended today I would leave this world with no regrets.
I was born in Sydney halfway through the last century, started my travels in the 60s with the usual U.K. Europe adventure at the age of 20, back to Australia and worked in Sydney, Melbourne & Adelaide in Sales & Marketing with multinational companies including Sanyo, Canon & Remington.
Engaged to be married 3 times and never quite made it to the alter, finally realized by the mid 90s I was not cut out for "long term relationships" so I moved to the Gold Coast in Queensland in January 1987, worked for a couple of banks as a Financial Planner, I took a year off work in 1998 to travel and never went back to full time work again, after 25 fun filled years on the Coast I packed up and moved to Thailand.
What is the purpose of this blog? Well I really want to use it to record my travel experiences & to display my photographs, give and receive travel tips, comment on places I visit, restaurants I eat in and use it to replace the autobiography I intended to write, apart from all that it helps me fill in my day. :)
I moved to Thailand mainly because I wanted to keep travelling while my health allowed me to, there are huge advantages being closer to all the places I want to visit.
Cost of living in Thailand is around 35% of the cost in Australia, plus flights are 50% cheaper because you are much closer to everywhere. ????
Consequently I am able to travel to many more places compared to living in Australia.
Having said all that, it is & has always been my intention to return to Australia when my travelling is finished, I predict this will happen around 2021.
