Kaloang Home Kitchen
(Th Si Ayuthaya; mains 60-170B; 11am-11pm; Tha Thewet)
Don't be alarmed by the peeling paint
and dilapidated deck - Kaloang Home Kitchen certainly isn't. The laid-back atmosphere
and seafood-heavy menu will quickly dispel any concerns about sinking into Mae Nam
Chao Phraya, and a beer and the breeze will temporarily erase any scarring memories of
Bangkok traffic. For the restaurant, follow Th Si Ayuthaya until you reach the river.

;
507 Th Ratchawithi; mains 85-160B; 2pm-1am; ; Victory Monument exit 4)
The modern Thai equivalent of a 1950s-era American diner, this popular place combines
solid Thai food, a fun atmosphere and a jukebox playing scratched records. The menu is
equally eclectic, and combines Thai and Western dishes and ingredients; be sure to save
room for the deep-fried ice cream.
Mallika Restaurant
(21/36 Th Rang Nam; mains 90-500B; 10am-10pm; ; Victory Monument exit 2)
A dream come true:
authentic regional Thai (southern, in this case), with a legible English menu, good service
and a tidy setting. The prices are slightly high for a family Thai joint, but you're paying for
quality.
