Thappraya Restaurant — Jomtien Soi 5

Thappraya Restaurant is a legacy venue record at Jomthien Thani on Jomtien Soi 5. The address and map point align, but the available evidence is too old to present it as a current restaurant.

Name and address

SoiDB records the English name as Thappraya Restaurant and the Thai name ร้านอาหาร ทัพพระยา. The imported URL retains “resturant”, but that spelling should not be repeated as if it were the documented business name.

The address is Jomthien Thani, Jomtien Soi 5, off Jomtien Beach Road in Nong Prue. Nominatim places the map point in postcode 20260.

How old is the evidence

The dedicated SoiDB entry was created and updated on 27 June 2009. OpenStreetMap last changed its corresponding restaurant point on 23 January 2012.

Neither timestamp proves a closure date. They do show why a present-tense recommendation would be misleading: no recent operator source, current directory status or fresh contact information confirms continued trading.

What cannot be recovered reliably

The surviving exact sources do not specify cuisine, signature dishes, prices, opening hours or a telephone. Nearby restaurants and a hotel at the same general location cannot supply those missing facts.

This is precisely where restraint matters. Adding a plausible Thai menu or copying details from another Thappraya-named business would create a confident but unsupported page.

The SoiDB page displays no indicators for credit cards, takeaway, delivery, buffet or live music. Empty directory fields are not evidence that those services were unavailable; they simply leave the question unanswered. The page therefore avoids turning missing icons into negative claims about how the restaurant operated.

Using the legacy location

The coordinate is useful for identifying the former point or understanding an old reference to the restaurant. Search by Jomthien Thani and Jomtien Soi 5 rather than the venue name alone.

The road label also prevents a common navigation error. Jomtien Soi 5 is not Pratumnak Soi 5, and the restaurant name does not mean it sat on the main Thappraya Road.

A current business at the coordinate would need its own evidence before being called a successor. Sharing a building or shop position does not prove continuity of ownership, menu or name. This record stops at the older identity because no documented replacement was found.

Recommendation

Use this record when tracing an older address or photograph. Do not select Thappraya Restaurant for a present meal without seeing current signage or an operator source; diners who need known hours, cuisine or a working reservation contact should skip it and choose a verified Jomtien venue.
