Come enjoy the province’s best dining with us – you will not be disappointed!
Street food stalls selling various types of meatballs, known as luk chin in Thai, are popular in nearly every corner of Thailand, including Buriram where one of the most popular street food stalls is Pa Nok Meatballs.
At Pa Nok Meatballs, they have their own style of serving yummy meatballs. Instead of taking a bag of meatballs drizzled in sauce to go, most customers will stand in front of the stall and enjoy dipping their meatballs right into the pots containing savoury dipping sauces. This is the first food stall in the province to start this unique 40-year-old tradition. The prices here are also very cheap for the level of deliciousness. You can enjoy the meatballs for only 3, 5, or 10 Baht per stick.
