• 'Beat Cafe' - super simple - lovely people

Delightfully friendly family run Buddhist open fronted cafe - very simple - very basic. A breakfast / lunch place - after 15.00 the food selection is very limited. Old hippies, seasoned backpackers, beatniks will feel quite at home here - I adore Hong Ming & have been visiting for too many years. You get a plate of several different tasty veggie preparations, mock meats, local red rice or noodles etc. - usually for much less than US$ 1.50. Point & point again - very little English spoken - I have never looked at a menu. Be ready to share tables with the locals if the place is busy. Some groceries also sold. Beware - the drinks are quite sweet The red hibiscus flower drink tastes superb. Hong Ming is the only veggy restaurant in Krabi to date. Directions - between Maharaja Soi's 6 & 10 - one street back from the river - directly behind the extremely seedy Rongram (Hotel) Vieng Tong which is at 155 Uttarakit Rd., Krabi Town. Note - this is not, not, not a place for anyone wanting piping hot fancy food & perfect sparkly hygeine - I call it a '5' because I adore such places & I am perhaps slightly eccentric.
