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

Tucked away next to a parking garage in Soi Kraisi in the Phra Nakhon district, this street food stall has earned an excellent reputation for its Tom Yum Kung – a hot and sour soup with river prawns, consistently described by visitors as thick, creamy, and bursting with umami flavor. Following a recommendation from renowned food travel journalist Mark Wiens, the stall gained wider recognition, attracting an international crowd to this authentically local and affordable spot near Khao San Road.

Besides the signature soup, the menu features dishes such as salted and garlic prawns, fried rice, and omelets, all generously portioned to satisfy two people. The Tom Yum soup boasts an unusual detail noticed by guests: the prawn heads are added directly to the broth, giving it a particularly intense flavor. Seafood is frequently praised for its freshness and value, and the portions are generally considered good value.
