In Pattaya, there is this small plot of land right in front One Patio hotel were a few real good Korean restaurants can be found. The one we went to was Doriwon. When we were here, we thought we were in Korea because the place is filled with Koreans chatting in Korean. And the boss who ushered us in is a Korean who spoke Thai with an accent like a Korean. There should be enough mention of Korean here to tell you that this is a real authentic Korean restaurant. Can’t go wrong especially when there were so many Koreans eating we saw.
