01THE LISTING · WHAT WE KNOW
LUNG SAWAI SEAFOOD.
Lung Sawai is the Na Jomtien seafood room locals mean when they say 'beach road.' The restaurant runs the full width of the strip near Wat Phra Yai — indoor air-con on one side, open sand on the other — with capacity for roughly 180 tables. Fish and shellfish arrive from morning boats; the menu board lists grilled prawns with tamarind, steamed crab with glass noodles, and whole squid dried in the sun before service. Prices are by weight and shown before cooking. Not a tasting-menu destination — a working Thai seafood house where the Gulf view is part of the bill.
