What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors rave about the 'A Pong Mae Sunee' for its unique texture, delicious coconut flavor, and incredible affordability. Many describe it as a must-try, leaving them wanting more. The only common drawback is the potential for long queues, especially if you don't arrive early.
"A Pong Mae Sunee: Essential Bib Gourmand Stop
It's all (and only) about the A-Pong (coconut crepes). They're cooked in tiny woks over charcoal, which gives them super crispy edges, and a soft, chewy coconut flavored middle. Just 5 Baht (15 cents USD) each, they're a perfect quick, cheap bite.
If you decide to give them a try, we recommend getting there early. We were there right at opening (9am) and by the time they made ours a line started to form.
We enjoyed them and will stop by again next time we visit Phuket!"

"A small, hidden spot in a little side street in Phuket Old Town, but I’m glad I discovered it.
You can get small crêpes with coconut flavor here. They seem to be very popular, because I had to wait 30 minutes. But that was totally fine — during that time you can easily walk around Old Town and, like I did, grab a coffee.
One crêpe costs only 5 Baht. You can also get 6 for 25 Baht.
I’m happy I tried them. :)"

"Yes, I had to wait around 30 minutes, but that’s totally normal for something popular. I could’ve decided to leave, but luckily I didn’t — 5 baht for a tasty treat is more than worth it. Absolutely delicious! :)"
