How to get there: Hoy Kraeng Pa Jeen (หอยแครงป้าจิน) is located right in the heart of Yaowarat Chinatown in Bangkok, along Phudungdao Road, which is also known as Soi Texas. The stall is just down the road from the famous T & K Seafood and Lek & Rut Seafood.



Located along Soi Texas (road) in Bangkok’s Chinatown, Hoy Kraeng Pa Jeen (หอยแครงป้าจิน) has been open and selling blood cockles, from a street food cart set up with bar counter seating, for over 40 years.

The blood cockles, which are lightly boiled and served with a dipping sauce, are incredibly fresh, and for any shell-fish lovers, they are superb!

Hoy kraeng (หอยแครง) means blood cockles in Thai, and Pa Jeen (ป้าจิน) is the name of the owner of the stall.

Simply boiled (but perfectly boiled), and served with a dipping variety combination of sauce, the cockles she and her son serve, are not complicated… but the freshness and quality is unparalleled.

The son of Pa Jeen (ป้าจิน) is now the one in charge of cooking the blood cockles and mussels, and he sits off to the right hand side of the stall, in front of the pile of blood cockles, and with simply a pot of perfectly boiling water in front of him.

Hoy Kraeng Pa Jeen (หอยแครงป้าจิน) is truly a gem of a street food stall in Bangkok, and they serve something so specific and well proven throughout the years. If you love blood cockles, or if you’d like to give them a try, this is one of the best places in Bangkok to eat blood cockles.

It could be your new favorite blood cockle bar!
