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

Here you'll find royal Thai cuisine prepared in the traditional style, in a restaurant that hasn't succumbed to any trends. It's located on Ratchadamnoen Klang in the Old City, and some tables offer a view of the Democracy Monument. The same dishes consistently feature in reviews: Mee Krob, crab and acacia curry, and pomelo salad. Order these dishes, and you'll understand what makes this cuisine so special. On most evenings, live singers perform old Thai classics – which, depending on the mood, is either exactly what makes it special or a bit too much. Personally, I think it's exactly what makes it special.

This restaurant is popular with many families in Bangkok for special occasions, so expect birthday parties, large round tables, and staff who know how to welcome guests. The service is consistently praised. Prices are mid-range, which is reasonable for the ambiance and offers better value than many other Thai hotel restaurants with a similar menu. If you're looking for a quick, cheap, and uncomplicated meal, this restaurant isn't for you. You'll find better and faster options just a few streets away.
