The Best Places to Eat Between Surin and the Cambodian Border
Don’t cross on an empty stomach — where to stop for a proper meal on the road to Chong Chom.
A Long Drive Deserves a Proper Meal
The road from Surin town toward the Chong Chom border crossing passes through Prasat and a handful of smaller towns before reaching Cambodia — and food options thin out the closer you get to the crossing itself. Whether you’re heading toward the border or just arrived from it, it’s worth knowing where to eat properly rather than settling for whatever you can find at the last minute.
What to Look For Along the Route
Local Isaan Food, Widely Available
Grilled meats, som tam and sticky rice are easy to find in towns along the route — reliable, quick, and a genuine taste of the region if you’re happy eating on local time.
A Proper Sit-Down Meal in Prasat
For something more substantial before or after the crossing, Prasat is the last real stop with a genuine restaurant menu — wood-fired pizza, Aussie steaks, best burgers and authentic Thai food, all served at Ryan’s Resort, roughly 90 minutes from the border.
Why Prasat Is the Sensible Stop
Once you’re past Prasat and closer to the border, options for a proper meal become limited. Stopping at Ryan’s Resort before continuing on — or straight after crossing back into Thailand — means eating well rather than settling for whatever’s available at the last minute, with a cold beer and a comfortable place to rest if you need it.
- Restaurant Thailand travellers can rely on, roughly 90 minutes from the Chong Chom crossing
- Wood-fired pizza, Aussie steaks, best burgers and authentic Thai food on one menu
- A sports bar with cold beer if you want to unwind before or after the drive
- Rooms available if you'd rather break the journey overnight than push straight through
