P.M. Cafe and Restaurant

P.M. Cafe is an old Jomtien name, not a current booking recommendation

P.M. Cafe belonged to the Scandinavian strand of older Jomtien dining. A 2011 profile describes a restaurant founded by Norwegian chef Per Mogstad, known locally as Kokke-Per, and places it near the Hanuman junction where Jomtien Second Road begins. The same report describes Norwegian cooking, a largely Scandinavian following and a restaurant that was deliberately more formal than a beachwear-and-a-beer stop.

That is useful context if an older forum post, map pin or friend recommends P.M. Cafe. It is not evidence that the restaurant is still trading under that name. A later report from 2018 says the business had been renamed Mai Tai and moved towards Jomtien Beach. The old website in this listing is no longer a reliable way to establish current details.

What the old restaurant was known for

The contemporary profile presents P.M. Cafe as a place for familiar Nordic food in a city better known for tourist menus and Thai seafood. It reports that the kitchen made its food from scratch, while noting one named convenience-food exception. That is a useful historical detail, but not a reason to assume a present-day menu, price or owner.

The location also mattered. It was close enough to Jomtien Beach for passing visitors but aimed at regulars who wanted a sit-down meal rather than a quick beach-road snack. If the object is a current Scandinavian meal, search current local listings rather than following the imported coordinates here.

The practical answer for a visitor

Skip the old P.M. Cafe listing when choosing tonight’s dinner. It is worth keeping because people still search the former name, and the rename explains why the expected restaurant may not be at the old point. If an establishment on or near the former site claims a connection, ask for its current name, menu and opening hours before travelling across town.

The useful recommendation is simple: use this page to identify the old P.M. Cafe, then confirm the business now at the address directly. Treat the restaurant’s Scandinavian reputation as history, not a review of a successor.
