Why should you go there and how do you do it right?

Order the grilled chicken and be sure to try the other dishes. The name suggests Gai Yang, and the kitchen prepares it perfectly, but guests keep coming back for the Somtum Pla Ra, Larb, and fried rice with fermented fish. The restaurant is on the Michelin list from 2022 to 2025, which in Ayutthaya is more likely to mean the dining room is full of Thai families than quiet or elegant.

The spiciness is not toned down for anyone. Even experienced chili eaters complain about it, so let them know when ordering if you don't want to eat with tears in your eyes. Dishes without pla ra and without chili are available upon request. The menu has pictures, which makes choosing easier. Prices are mid-range, and the portions are generous. A common complaint is that dishes are often not served at the same time, and a delayed larb means everything else is cold. So it's worth asking if anything is missing.
