No exaggeration?! Picture and proof, mantis shrimp thicker than your arm~ We’re not afraid you can’t eat it, just that your stomach might not be big enough.



And there's more… Have you ever had scallops as big as a kid’s face?


Just from the photo above, it might not look that impressive, but check out the next one — the 50-baht coin looks as small as a sesame seed next to it!!
So which restaurant is this amazing place that serves such gigantic, bizarre seafood? The answer lies at PRECCHA Restaurant, located at the southern end of Pattaya.



Worried about the price? The large tanks at the entrance show the prices: giant mantis shrimp costs 1,800 baht per kilogram.


Scallops as big as a kid’s face are just 50 baht each.


Everyone’s favorite Thai shrimp is 700 baht per kilogram.


Large Thai prawns are only 900 baht per kilogram.

Premium lobster is 3,500 baht per kilogram.


But the fresh seafood isn’t all – dining here also treats you to an unbeatable sunset view. See that beach? Yup, it’s right here.




While waiting for your seafood to arrive, snap some selfies on the beach or take group photos with friends – every angle looks great!!

Or go cute – strike a pose inspired by the latest Korean hit song Gwiyomi (Cutie Song).


Many young locals choose to dine right by the sea or on the sand – it’s super relaxing.


Prefer indoor seating? That’s available too.


Let’s introduce the dishes – besides those giant mantis shrimp and scallops, this curry stir-fried prawn dish is also a crowd favorite.


Grilled squid… remember to dip it in Thai spicy sauce.


Steamed fish in oyster sauce – the Prince forgot what this fish is called, but it was the most delicious fish he had during his entire trip to Thailand~~~ If anyone wants to try it, just show this page to the staff (the Prince remembers it’s 1,500 baht per kilogram).


Charcoal-grilled Thai giant tiger prawns – (700 baht per 500g).
