Eating
The night market has a decent collection of food stalls offering snacks and meals,
from deep-fried wontons to fresh fish. Choose a dish and sit at the nearby tables, or
step inside one of several restaurants on and off Th Phahonyothin by the night mar-
ket.
LUNG EED LOCOL FOOD $
(Th Watpranorn; mains 30-60B; 11.45am-9pm Mon-Sat)
There's an English-lan-
guage menu on the wall, but don't miss the sublime
lâhp gài
(minced chicken fried
with herbs and topped with crispy deep-fried shallots and garlic). The restaurant is
on Th Watpranorn near the intersection with the Superhighway.
Northern Thai
NAM NGIAW PAA NUAN $
Vietnamese-Northern Thai
( Th Sanpannard; mains 10-100B; 9am-5pm)
This somewhat concealed place
serves a unique mix of Vietnamese and northern Thai dishes. Tasty food, friendly
service and a barn-like atmosphere make us wish they served them for dinner as
well.
PAA SUK $
(no roman-script sign; Th Sankhongnoi; mains 10-25B; 8am-3pm Mon-Sat)

immensely popular third-generation restaurant specialises in the local dish
