The story
A humble stall in the Chon Buri night market, เจ๊หนูหอยดอง has quietly become a destination for pickled-seafood devotees. Creator BANKII calls it a “fantastic” find, noting that the owner uses live clams and a special homemade sauce. The result is strikingly fresh, with a tangy, savory brine that showcases the shellfish rather than masking it.
The menu is focused and precise: หอยลายดอง (pickled clams), หอยตลับดอง (pickled cockles), and หอยปากเป็ดดอง (pickled duck-mouth clams). Each retains a clean snap, and the sauce—vinegary, lightly spiced—coats without overwhelming. For 1,000 baht (about $28), BANKII demonstrated you can feast across the market; this stall alone justifies the trip. A casual, essential stop for anyone exploring Thailand’s street-food scene.

หอยตลับดอง
50 baht. The clam meat is clear and fresh. I had these clams before from Jomtien, and these are just as good. The seafood dipping sauce here is also delicious.
หอยปากเป็ดดอง
50 baht. I've never seen this type of clam before. The foot is crunchy, and inside there are eggs. It's chewy and very fragrant. The fact that it's so aromatic means the clams are super fresh — they use live clams for the pickling. The meat is very clear.
