I wanted to live the Bourdain experience didn’t expect much. There’s no longer an English menu that I saw pictured. It’s not that they didn’t speak any English that bothered me but the lack of effort when I showed them my google translate. I got the wrong soup it was more of a Tom yum. Pork was dry. Beef was better. Flies everywhere that hit me. The sausage I ordered never came. It was a 500 baht meal where average should be 50 baht per dish so probably got the farang price. Awkward experience the father and Daughter were not friendly like in previous reviews. It felt awkward to take photos or videos so I treaded lightly. Didn’t feel welcoming and the food wasn’t good. Maybe it was different 10 years ago when that episode of Bourdain aired. I just wanted to let people know what to expect. Lots of road noise and flies everywhere that bite! Mosquito spray didn’t work. Overall if you want to drink with a bunch of people that might be the right play. The meat is basically like a softer beef jerky. I think it would be better if they hammered it hot off the grill as I got cold meat. I had the hammered beef, fermented pork, intestines, pork skewer chopped up. Then left out the sausage I ordered. and a spicy Tom yum type of soup. Side of cabbage and basil and dry chili and one sauce. And A flask of sang som and soda. One hand was shooing away flies and the other eating. Couldn’t wait to get out of there fast enough. Seemed like a local roundhouse where people drink on a busy highway. I think since they moved locations with the house in the back it’s basically on the interstate. You have to get dropped off and walk 100 meters. Oh yeah it definitely gave me stomach issues all day. Nice to try once but it’s out of the way and not worth the bathroom time in my opinion. Go with a group of friend so you can drink and snack on the dry meat. It’s 20-30 min away from town in an area that’s basically a freeway
