Next to Thammasat University this claustrophobic
riverside market has some of the best food in town. On the western
edge of the old walkway traditional Thai food is served buffet
style on wooden planked decks over the water. On the other side is
a surprisingly quiet and cool Thai pasta house and bakery popular
with students.

Across the Ratchadamnoen Klang road from Banglamphu
district is a popular but low key hangout for the local trend
setters. Most come for the ambiance rather than the food as the
first floor usually hosts a live band, the second an art gallery,
the third a pool hall, and the fourth an open air terrace with
beautiful views, all filled with cheerful diners and
drinkers.

This restaurant may not have the best, or indeed any,
atmosphere for that matter, but the food is simply delicious and
well worth it for those who are willing to make the sacrifice. A
popular eatery, Somboon Seafood is regularly packed with friendly
staff and with such a vast menu, guests will find themselves coming
back time and again. The restaurant also features a large aquarium
full of live seafood such as prawn, fish, lobster and crab. The
house specialty, chilli crab curry, comes highly recommended. Open
daily from 4pm to 11pm. Credit cards not accepted.

Just around the corner from the bustling backpacker
district the quiet coffee shop is a great stop for breakfast or
early lunch. The dark wooden interior transports diners to old Siam
although omelettes and baguettes are often welcome tastes of the
west.
