This gem of a place serves fresh seafood with Thai flavours, featuring house-made curry and chilli paste. Order in advance or call to check availability. Try the stir-fried crab with bird's eye chilli or the non-spicy stir-fried squid with curry powder.

Northern Thai food has a special place in the hearts of locals, but finding good food like this outside the region can be tough. So Huen Lamphun is a gem of a find, to such an extent that large groups from the neighbourhood return in droves. Every dish uses organic vegetables grown onsite. The grilled, fermented northern Thai pork in banana leaf explodes with chilli and garlic. Another favourite is Makwan-marinated grilled chicken with a peppery flavour and herbal aroma.

Accessible only by boat, the Praya Palazzo hotel’s Praya Dining is located in a century-old Palladian-style mansion on the banks of the Chao Phraya River. Inside, it exudes historic charm to complement its culinary offerings. The menu unites iconic dishes from the Sukhothai and Ayutthaya Kingdoms with the Rattanakosin Kingdom and modern Bangkok; Gaeng Rawang, a stir-fried beef curry flavoured with turmeric and lemongrass, stands out for its great aromatic spicing.

With its soft lighting and Northeastern-inspired decor featuring woven lampshades and wall art, KaenKrung exudes a warm atmosphere. The chef-owners present contemporary Isan flavours from Khon Kaen in a menu of well-balanced Thai and Isan dishes. Made with local ingredients, the signature Hao Dong, comprising grilled pork tossed in a fragrant herb and spice mix, delivers bold, spicy, smoky notes with a refined finish. Perfect for those who love strong, punchy flavours.

Simple in its design, with a white pavilion and modest dining tables, the restaurant also offers some outdoor seating. The owners are hands-on, preparing every dish with care. The stir-fried crab has a naturally sweet meat and wok-fried aroma, and is served with glass noodles, spicy chilli and crunchy mimosa. The large butterfly-cut river fish is nicely char-grilled. The grilled river prawns, meanwhile, are clearly the people’s favourite.

Over 50 years old, this stall, a short walk from Khao San Road, serves crispy pancakes with sweet or savoury toppings. Its specialty is its smooth, delicate batter made from mung bean and brown rice mixed with coconut milk. Expect a short wait, as this authentic Thai dessert is made to order.
