Yes, the real name of this restaurant is Cheap Cheap Restaurant, and it’s located just down the road from the main drag of Ao Nang - the touristy central of Krabi. There are a lot of restaurants in Ao Nang that cater to mostly touristy, both international restaurants and Thai restaurants.
Through some family contacts, we went to Cheap Cheap Restaurant, and I was quite impressed with the menu… they literally had almost everything, from every corner of Thailand on their menu - there must be hundreds of dishes to choose from. While they did have some popular touristy dishes like pad Thai, they also had some seriously good southern and even northern Thai dishes. Soon I found out that the chef at Cheap Cheap restaurant in Ao Nang was a former hotel chef, and knew how to cook just about every type of Thai dish.
We first began with a coconut to drink, which was incredibly sweet and refreshing. I don’t drink coconut too often, but I really enjoy them when I do. They are so fresh and hydrating and just naturally sweet.
The main dish I was most interested in trying was their version of pla sai tod kamin (ปลาทรายทอดขมิ้น), deep fried fish made with sand whiting fish, which are kind of small French fry sized fish, which are quite popular to eat in Krabi. The stack of fish came to our table extremely crispy, and topped with a mound of crispy turmeric and garlic, and served with a chili garlic lime sauce on the side. They were extremely delicious.
The other dishes we ordered at Cheap Cheap Restaurant in Krabi included, kai jeow (ไข่เจียว) - a Thai style omelet, soup neua (ซุปเนื้อ) - beef soup, gaeng som cha om kai (แกงส้มกุ้งชะอมไข่) - soup with climbing wattle omelet inside.
All the dishes we tried at Cheap Cheap Restaurant were excellent. I think it’s a good restaurant in Ao Nang to order a diverse range of good Thai food.

Thank you for watching this video!
My wife and I were there last April during Songkran. Ordered exactly what you ordered. You make everything look so good. Southern Thai food is not our cup of tea, but we enjoyed a food adventure outside our comfort zone. We always enjoy your videos!
Awesome video mark!!!! as always..
I'm a big fan of your videos!!!!
looked excellent Mark Thanks so much!
I am a simple man, I see Marks facial expression eating food, I click "like".
275k Subs, congrats Mark, you and Ying deserve it. Keep up the good work!
Can't wait to go to Ao Nang! Love the complicated family tree explanation of how you ended up here lol.
It all looked sublime! You make food come alive right before my eyes!
Hey Mark an awesome video as always.
I'm a big fan of our videos
love your facial expression... im visiting Krabi now... and your video poped up... Thanks! Enjoyed watching it...
Mark! Thank you for sharing these talented video's. Every one of them reminds me of my time as a missionary in Thailand and the Philippines. Wishing you and your family a Blessed Christmas Season. ChefMike
Hi Mark, I am at Cheap Cheap now for the second time. I got on their wifi and showed the hostess your video. She showed the whole kitchen staff!! We're all having a great time talking about Thai food and they are very excited to see your video. I love it here! Best restaurant I have found in Ao Nang.
The food is extremely delicious for a very good price.
Panag curry with shrimp and Green curry are absolutely amazing
Great video Mark! I loved Ao Nang too!
Just ate at Cheap Cheap Restaurant last night and was not disappointed. I ordered the small fried fish, a crab omelette, stir fried morning glory and soft shell crab in curry sauce and it was all amazing! With a side order of rice and a coconut juice the total came to 700 baht (about $23)! Definitely going back again!!
OMG OMG........tat super crispy fish 🐟....amazing..... Loved the blog...👍
that looks amazing mark.....mmmmmmmmmm specially the fired fish😛
Anyone else watch mark before breakfast!? The hype before my breakfast
+Quang Tran Nope. I usually watch him mid-morning on Sundays and in the afternoon on Wednesday. I have to eat before/during the videos though. Ate super hot Korean ramen while watching this one.
+Quang Tran Good point! :)

Yea makes me Hungary
Mark your videos are just awsmeeee...I just love watching them😊☺
Mark I just went here last week while on a trip to thailand with my friends- I have to say that this is an awesome eatery- the staff is truly great- there was a really really cute staff as well- the food is just gorgeous- we ordered so many things and all of them were top notch- guys this a must place if you visit ao nang, krabi... hopefully I will go back again
You're facial expression eating the food always gets me. I'm so jealous lol.
Well this took an odd turn...
Elliot Jay he only got 2 reactions. Eyes wide open while sitting up tall or eyes shut while leaning to his right lol. Every bite, every time, every video. You can be like "Here Mark, try this water" He'll close eyes and lean to the right "Mmmmmm, so watery!" I really like his videos but is it possible he has never had a bad bite in his life? I like food vlogger that can say "I like this, not that so much though." Just seems more genuine. EVERYTHING you eat can't be a 10 on a scale of 1-10.
I can attest that he does give criticisms - I think he's a positive guy so he doesn't say too many bad things, but you can tell he doesn't really like sweet or fried food, and his reaction is much more reserved when he's not super happy with something. No tilt, no lean. Plus his reaction when eating truly bad food is hilarious because it so rarely happens (watch his Bad Food in Koh Samui video!)
exactly. Mark is as genuine as a food enthusiast there is. He knows the best places, thats why he eats there. Unlike other ppl whos has their palates fixed on doritos and taco bell.
looked so good! And those little crunchy fish!...Mmmm! Yummy! :-) Thanks for the series. atb to you and Ying.

That shrimp soup and fried fish looked so good. Amazing to see how cheap that great stuff is.
I am so hungry now! Normally I dont even like shrimp but those dishes look amazing!

it's 500k now

That crispy fish... Drooling...

I love the coconut drink it looked amazing 💕
i always watch your video.. always craving 😆☺
Hey Mark!
I was recently in Ao Nang for holiday and had an amazing experience at Cheap Cheap! To be honest with you, we tried other places in the area and were thoroughly disappointed. We always went back to Cheap Cheap at the end of the day.
The 2nd time we came in the woman looked at me and remembered me as "som tam boo pla ra" girl right away haha
I think the name might throw some people off as being "cheap" in terms of quality as well, but every dish we had (especially the pla tod kamin) was really great and really affordable compared to other restaurants of much lower quality and authenticity.
I've been craving that fish everyday since my trip! Thanks for your awesome suggestions, Mark!
the best food you ever tasted - gone in one bite!!!! savour it man!
Sawatdee ka Khun Mark! your Thai meal looks very delish and balanced. will try to visit this place when going to Krabi in February😁 Khop khun maak ka!👌 Greetings from Germany
Omg really wanna go theree now! Droollll
As usual Mark you made that meal look so delicious. Would love to try that fish. So crispy looking. :)
You can judge how well something tastes by how much marks head moves :P
you are a nice guy..keep it up..the best food channel ever exist in the world..everybody works for food..but the food you eat as yr work..
Mark, Gang Som Cha-om Khai is my favorite dish too.
It is same delicious level as Tom-Yum.
that gaeng som looks so tasty and full of flavor!!!
I love your facial expression when you eat.. It has become your signature face after tasting food! hahaha.. Hope you can one day take your wife to visit US or some where in Europe! amazing food there as well
Your videos make me miss Thailand.
Thai dishes very delicious food video👍😋💯😍💖
i really love the famous fruit carvings in thailand because they are colourful and beautiful.
i even notice my favourite orchid which is the dendrobium sonia bom that has been extensively used by thai airways on the dandwie and mango dessert. you can use the cherry tomato to make salads and sandwiches.
wow this looked like one heck of a good stop.. we have a thai place in the local shopping center here where I live. It isnt at all cheap ... but one of their cooks has been there forever and has great presentation like the visual prep you see there, and when your order is prepared by her, it is incredible. the flavor is always good but some cooks just have a talent.
Oh man.. I feel hungry whenever I watch mark's videos
Looked great. Ok..maybe not the lung part :). Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful😄
mark,awesome n impressive food. total tua rai krap! in baht. 👍
The shrimp soup over rice at 3:00 looks soooo tasty.
Those little fried fishes are the BEST,!!! 😭
Yaya they are the best
Ao Nang is a beautiful place. Many many wonderful little eateries all over the place. They made the best and freshest Mango Shakes ever. And of course yellow curries are top shelf. Massoman curry I like because they have vegetables like potatoes and carrots in it, in addition to the other stuff
delicious !!!
Reminds me of deep-fried smelts, except these have been given a much more elegant treatment. I have never used any turmeric except in powdered form. I must go to our local Vietnamese store and buy some fresh turmeric and try to duplicate this recipe with smelts. Thanks Mark. Love your videos!!!
Your facial expressions makes me even more excited about food lol >.
please make more vlogs=) i love it. God bless you.
Ich liebe deine Kanal Mark. Es macht mich immer entspannen. Umarmungen aus Deutschland!
look so delicious.....
IM STAYING AT AO NANG RIGHT NOW!!! Gah!! Would have been sweet to meet you Mark!
u always make me hungry.
I have a stomach.bug and watching this food made me so hungry. I want all of that food now
those little fish look so good! We have 'charales' here in Mexico, deep fried little fish you can eat as whole, so good with some salsa and lime! Great source of calcium also x
Mark, must have been an easy to feed child. What a diverse and easy to delight palate. He eats things I wouldn't try but I really want to after seeing how he combines the flavours and describes the tastes... 😜😊
good food👍
Hi Mark I think in Australia we call it white bait - delicious, will try this way
awsome
やっぱり手で食べてほしいな。
手で食べてると、美味しいそうさ倍増！
Wow, what an awesome restaurant!!! I loved the dishes that they served you!!! I am a little bit scared though of eating whole fishes. I tried to eat whole and small fishes, that i think were deep fryed, in France one time, but I just couldn't make it! I was so scared of like chewing the eyes and stuff.... I like keeping it safe when it comes to food. I barely dare to try things like rabbit (they had it in France) and duck. It's soooo scary....
Thank you for a lovely video. I can't wait to travel to Thailand one day and exploring everything nice there.
Lots of peace and love from Sweden.
dear Mark, Thank you for tge video! we stayed in ao nang last November and almost went to Potjawan Seafood restaurant at the other end of Ao Nang. not so touristy as it is at the end of Ao Nang and we felt it was a very friendly atmosphere and very nice people. As our first time in Asia we didnt try all the dished but were overwhelmed by those whe had ordered. spring rolls, fried rice, chicken with cashew nuts, some soups and currys. If you come across that restaurant I would be courious to know how you rate it! Love to watch your videoa. best regards from Germany! Jan
The food looked awesome Mark. Did the egg have something inside of it? Thank You for sharing.
Hi Mark, I really enjoyed the video and all the wonderful videos you guys make. I also had a small request, is it possible to make more recipe based videos? I really enjoy replicating the recipes you make. Thank you =)
krabi love it
ปลาทอดขมิ้น very best
8 march I'll be visit this restaurant.
#MarkWiens, you are a doll and so is your enthusiasm for delicious food!
beautiful omelet
😋❤️👍🏼 you sure can get lots in your mouth. I started trying that but had to take some out.
Hi, Mark! I'm re-watching your Krabi videos because I'm seriously considering a trip to Thailand in November/December. Would you recommend Krabi or Phuket for a first time visitor from California? ❤️
I love mark
Drooling .....drooling ....n even more drooling ..... 😛😛😛
I really like his expression while eating his food hehe ...
wow all the dishes you had today look amazingly good. Loving the name "cheap cheap" , was the food pretty affordable/cheap?
12.53$ for all of that is pretty cheap
I missed the price but thanks for the info. that is very cheap and affordable!
Ate there a lot when me and my girlfriend lived in Ao Nang! Stayed there for 13 months :)
There was a short lady with purple hair (sometimes) who gave me the most spicy prik they had and it almost killed me hahah
I was eating at this place today, so be careful, because prices are so much bigger than he shown in this video. But food was good and staff was very nice!
I love eating omelete with kang som, too. LOL
almost like a strong carrot flavour but......... um not exactly lol was the funniest bit.
so hungry
Hi mark, when will your Bhutan videos be up? Thank you!
if I will stay in bangkok how much budget should I have for 2 or 3 days visit including food and hotel and transpo? I plan to visit bangkok in June with my wife.
Hi Mark, family and I are eating at cheap cheap now but the owner wants everyone to know the name has changed! Its now “aroy-d seafood restaurant”. She said a lot of people don’t eat here because they don’t believe her when she says its the same :(
love coconut water here in florida summer time so good for health and to work in hot hot hot sun all are coconut imports come from thailand hahah
Hi Mark. Been there like 2-3 weeks ago and the food was good although I think your dishes were prepared especially for this video since they weren't usually that color- and flavourfull. Unfortunatelly Ao Nang is not really a foodie destination. We loved however the Boat Noodle which is a little up the same road, towards the mosque. Try them next time!
The food must have been good since you did the Stevie Wonder several times.
Mark, u should ask for bigger spoon everytime u eat..guess that spoon is too small for u..😅 btw what does fried turmac taste like? u werent the only one sipping ur coconut water at the end 😋..I luv coconut water..
