Affordable Dining in Samut Songkhram: 'Mom’s Recipe' Curry Shop Offers 20-Baht Meals
A new curry shop in Samut Songkhram is helping locals combat rising living costs by offering meals starting at just 20 baht.
In the Bang Chakreng sub-district of Samut Songkhram, a local eatery named 'Mom’s Recipe' (Khao Kaeng Sut Khun Mae) has gained attention for its commitment to affordability. According to a report by Khaosod Online, the shop was opened on April 17 by owner Pannatch Ruenlilimskul, who sought to provide budget-friendly meal options for the local community, particularly laborers passing through the area.
Amidst global economic pressures, including fluctuating fuel prices and rising costs for consumer goods, the shop offers a rotating menu of over 10 dishes daily, with prices starting at 20 baht. The initiative draws on the owner's family background in the food industry, specifically her mother’s experience selling curry and her own history of selling rice at the Mae Klong market.
For travelers and residents in the region, this shop represents a practical example of community-focused resilience against inflation. While the shop provides a low-cost dining alternative, visitors should note that the menu rotates daily, and specific dish availability may vary. As this is a small, locally-run establishment, travelers are encouraged to verify current operating hours and specific menu offerings upon arrival, as these details were not explicitly confirmed beyond the initial opening period.
