Krua Kroo Moo has everything going for it - a great riverside location in Old Rayong Town and a 100-year old historic traditional Thai teak wood building.
We went with high hopes after reading reviews about its offerings of original Thai dishes from the old days.
But we were disappointed. For example, we ordered what was billed as Original & Traditional Thai Omelet. It turned out to be a very ordinary omelet of the sort you can knock up at home in two minutes by cracking a couple of eggs, whisking a fork through them and frying them off in a pan with some oil.
The prawns with glass noodles was an improvement but still did not rise above the ordinary but I will credit the stir fried mixed vegetables with being crisp and not over cooked.
We waited 40 minutes for our dinner without any explanation for the long delay, and in the meantime I had drunk all of a bottle of Heineken so tried to order a small bottle to have once the food eventually arrived, only to be told they only had large bottles. That's one way to increase your profits on alcohol sales, I guess. (Not to mention that Krua Kroo Moo only stocks the more expensive Heineken beer and not the local Leo beer, which I prefer anyway).
We also found the owner/manager and the staff far less than friendly, and wondered what happened to "Thailand - the Land of Smiles".
Footnote: This 100-year-old Thai teakwood house was originally the residence of one of Rayong's first governors Its many rooms are stuffed full of memorabilia from the 1920s, 30s and 40s, including dozens of old radios, fans, cooking utensils, jars, vases, telephones, children's toys and other assorted nick knacks. We noticed that all the clocks were set on the same time - 10.10 and on enquiring why we were told it is because ten is the owner's lucky number.

Original Thai dishes from ancient times still served today! They only serve dinner and the place has more antuiqes than most museums! Must place to go for dinner on Thanon Sri Samutpoke.
