Located in the Thor Thong Daeng community along Thesa 2 Road in Nai Mueang sub-district, Mueang Kamphaeng Phet district, a newly opened eatery named Natthaphop Pok Pok Noodle has captured local attention. Situated at house number 332/1 opposite the Nong Pling Waterworks, the shop officially opened its doors on August 1, drawing crowds with a prominent signboard displaying bowls priced at just 10 baht each.
The restaurant offers a wide variety of noodles including small flat noodles, large flat noodles, rice vermicelli, egg noodles, and instant noodles, accompanied by bean sprouts, water convolvulus, meatballs, pork, and pork liver. For customers looking for heartier portions, the menu scales up to 20-baht bowls, standard 40-baht bowls, and 50-baht special bowls. Soup options feature tom yum waterfall, tom khlong, thick tom yum, and yen ta fo, with the tom yum waterfall standing out as the absolute customer favorite.

The story behind the shop's name involves combining the names of the owner's mother and father. Meanwhile, the nickname "Pok Pok" originates from the founder's father driving a motorized tricycle to sell noodles through local neighborhoods while tapping a wooden block to signal hungry residents that it was time to buy before the cart moved past their alley.
Introducing a 10-baht baseline price point serves as an effective market entry strategy in provincial Thailand, lowering the barrier to entry and encouraging trial purchases. This approach builds immediate consumer trust and word-of-mouth marketing within local neighborhoods, demonstrating how small food vendors adapt traditional hospitality to modern community engagement.
Maintaining culinary standards, the shop enforces a strict rule regarding its broth: the soup pot must remain at a rolling boil at all times. A drop in temperature alters the flavor profile, requiring continuous attention and temperature management by the staff throughout daily business hours.
To celebrate the grand opening, the establishment is running a special promotion where customers who order five bowls receive a sixth bowl free, exclusively applicable to the waterfall soup menu. Food enthusiasts visiting Kamphaeng Phet can experience this budget-friendly local culinary tradition firsthand.
