Screaming Crazy Hunk Waiters at Staneemeehoi in Bangkok

Staneemeehoi is so famous for its eccentric theme and service. It employs a team of muscular young men who wear skimpy female costumes or clothing, and try their very best to act girly, and funny, as they serve, and entertain customers; that includes imitating a girly scream, dancing provocatively, and puckering their lips as they pose for selfies.

Staneemeehoi (which means Shell Station) is just one of many seafood restaurants here in Bangkok. As the name suggests, it specializes in shellfish and judging by the hundreds of reviews on TripAdvisor, Youtube, Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, and Blogs. The dishes and dips served here are above average, but that’s not why tourists are eager to visit this astonishing place.


My college friend, Sarah booked a trip to Thailand with her children on the 1st week of February for a short vacay, and our college reunion coincidingly. My other friend, Rizza, and I are both Filipino ex-pats here in Thailand. The three of us were classmates at Centro Escolar University in Manila. We took Bachelor's Degree in Social Work, batch 1994-1998. It's been ages since we last met in the Philippines (due to Covid19), along with our classmates/friends. We finally agreed to meet up, and visit this very unique restaurant, as suggested by Rizza.

I must say that the food was very scrumptious and the service was great. No dull moments. Celes paid our bill amounting to 1,080 Thai Baht. We ordered a set of shellfish on a plate, a large plate of crab fried rice (large chunks of crab😘, so sorry not in the picture because we ate it first😅), a big fried fish with crunchy garlic, papaya salad with slices of salted eggs (som tum), and drinks (beer, mineral water, three soft drinks). It’s not too pricey, to be honest. We really enjoyed the treat! Thanks to our most generous friend, Celes😘.

Here is my review rating; 


1. Food/Drinks - 10/10

2. Service - 9/10 

3. Venue - 7/10

4. Bathroom - 4/10

5. Show - 10/10

6. Theme - 9/10               

7. Entertainers - 7/10            

The food was appetizing and very affordable. Our orders arrived on time. The large plate of crab-fried rice is good for 3-4 people. The location of restaurant is inside the Huamom Night Market. The size of the venue is quite small, it’s indoor but non-air-conditioned. You must get in the queue before getting in, and if you're unlucky, you'll need to wait about 1 hour or more because the venue is full. or reserved. They open at 6PM. It was 8pm when we visited, and we needed to wait for an hour. We saw many tourists from Korea, China, Hongkong, Macau, Japan, and the Philippines. There are no walls, so the show can be seen from outside. If I were the owner of this restaurant, I'd rather build a closed door with an air-conditioned venue, so that people would really have to get in and order something. It will create more mystery and will generate or motivate many customers. There are parking spaces in the market. While we wait in our queue, we walked around and checked out other restaurants and shops because it was really quite boring, standing there and waiting to be allowed inside. There were also so many bystanders and customers, just like us. The bathroom or toilet is outside of the restaurant, it’s actually a communal use for shoppers and customers in the market. A few steps away from the restaurant. You'll need 3 Baht coins to get in, and no available tissue. I guess it's just okay than nothing at all. It's not very dirty though (so-so). They probably should have one inside, too. My overall restaurant review is 8/10. With little improvements, it’ll be 10/10.

Happy Hour
