For those who love noodles and gnawing on tender bones,this is an absolute must-try. Thairath Online takes you to a trending hotspot,"Je Pook's Noodle Shop" in Kamphaeng Phet, which has gone viral through word of mouth among food lovers. Customers are amazed by the generous portions piled so high that even a basin would struggle to hold them, all for a price that makes you rub your eyes—does such a price still exist today?
The star dish drawing crowds daily is "chicken frame noodles," where Je Pook loads the bowl generously without holding back. Inside, you'll find tender chicken frames, wings, and large chicken feet piled so high they almost hide the noodles beneath.
This comes with a fragrant broth, simmered until rich and flavorful.The charm of this dish lies in customers bending over their bowls, using chopsticks and spoons,to carefully pick, pull, and gnaw on the soft meat nestled in the crevices of the bones—a dining entertainment that many find addictive. All this comes at only 50 baht.
Behind this delicious success is Je Pook Sujitra Tonbut, 37, who once ran a noodle shop in her village but had to close it due to the economic downturn. She then worked as a housewife in Bangkok for seven months but realized it wasn't her path, so she returned to her hometown to regroup.
Her turning point came when she scrolled through TikTok and was inspired by the idea of "chicken frame noodles." Since no one in her village sold this dish, she studied and opened her own shop. The results exceeded expectations—today she simmers over 30 chicken frames daily and sells out every day. The shop also offers other noodle dishes and delicious stir-fried basil rice.
Je Pook Noodle Shop (Ban Pae Om) is located at Ban Pae Om, Moo 7, Nikom Thung Pho Thale Subdistrict, Mueang District, Kamphaeng Phet. If you travel along the Kamphaeng Phet-Phichit road, turn left before reaching Kamphaeng Phet Agricultural College, then drive straight for about 2 kilometers. The shop stands prominently at the corner of a three-way intersection.
