Which Thai table-cooked dish resembles Korean barbecue and hot pot?

The Thai table-cooked dish resembling Korean barbecue and hot pot is mu kratha.

Mu kratha combines two cooking surfaces in one tabletop vessel. Diners grill sliced meat on the raised dome while vegetables, noodles, seafood, and other ingredients cook in the surrounding moat of broth. Restaurants commonly heat the vessel over charcoal, though modern versions may use other burners.

The name means “pork pan” or “pork skillet” in Thai: mu means pig or pork, and kratha means pan or skillet. Pork is especially common, but chicken, seafood, lamb, mushrooms, and vegetables may also be prepared this way.

Mu kratha is a communal meal, usually accompanied by a spicy dipping sauce made with ingredients such as chilies, garlic, lime, and fermented soybean sauce. It is often confused with Thai suki, but suki is primarily a hot-pot-style dish, while mu kratha’s defining feature is the central grill-and-broth combination.
