Talat Phlu Ocha is an old school, no frills shophouse restaurant selling excellent beef noodle soup, located on Lat Ya Road in Bangkok’s Khlong San area which is on the west side of the Chao Phraya River. If you’re staying on the Thonburi side of Bangkok, you have to check this place out, you’d be …
Khao kha moo (ข้าวขาหมู) – stewed pork leg on rice is my ultimate Thai comfort dish. This isn’t a ‘Top Five Places to Eat’ post, there are far too many shops selling khao kha moo for that. This is a list of five of my personal favourites, in no particular order, that won’t leave you disappointed. …
As the name suggests, Chalawan Khao Man Gai – จารุวรรณข้าวมันไก่ is known locally for their excellent Hainanese chicken rice but today I’m here to try their duck noodle soup. Duck noodle soup definitely isn’t a rare dish in Bangkok, in fact, on Charoen Nakhon Road alone, I can name a few shops off the top of my …
Over the Songkran holiday, we were lucky enough to try some fantastic home style cooking at a new riverside restaurant in Bangkok Noi. The restaurant’s name is Imm, which of course, translates to ‘full’ in Thai and that is precisely how we ended up leaving – absolutely stuffed! Imm is part of a beautiful new …

I love strolling through this side of town, there’s still a massive Chinese influence here, which …
(Edited 2018) Is there anything better than crispy, deep fried pork belly? I’m not so sure! Moo krob as it’s known in Thailand is sold all across Bangkok, but I keep hearing about the so called ‘crispiest pork in Bangkok, ‘ and I thought it was about time I went and checked it out for …
Som Tum Der is a restaurant that I’ve been meaning to go to since I arrived in Bangkok a year ago. The Silom area, in which it’s located is a place I go to on a near daily basis, so why I’ve not eaten there until now escapes me. Perhaps it’s because it’s so heavily …
Khao ka moo, or pork leg stew is my ultimate Thai comfort food. I eat it at least once a week if not more. Slow cooked pork leg, simmered in five spice infused broth for hours until it’s falling off the bone. Served on top of steamed Jasmine rice with boiled eggs, which take on …
If like me, you developed a love for khao soi in Chiang Mai, you will know how frustrating it is not to be able to eat it whenever you feel like it in Bangkok. Unlike in Chiang Mai, where there are plenty of great khao soi joints to choose from wherever you are in the …
I love wandering around Bangkok’s Western suburb of Wongwian Yai. It has yet to see any real number of tourists as up until a couple of years ago it had no BTS Skytrain station. Since the government extended the Silom train line out to Bang Wa, Wongwian Yai has become a lot more accessible. It …
