Uthai Thani’s food comes from the Sakae Krang River. Fish are farmed in cages under the raft houses, and riverside restaurants cook them in many ways. The town also keeps a strong morning-market culture, with Thai-Chinese breakfasts that locals linger over.<\/p>\n
Cage-farmed in the Sakae Krang River and the signature fish of Uthai, often deep-fried whole and served with a spicy mango or tamarind salad.
