Sitting pretty on the western side of the Chao Praya river is the Wat Prayoon. An architectural masterpiece and historic temple that you must see.
The clue is in the name of this old-timey cafe, perched so close to the Chao Phraya River, your feet almost get wet. Taking over a historic wooden home, this living room-turned-cafe doles out strong Thai coffee, old-timey snacks, and simple lunches of fried rice and noodles.
Come for the front-row views over the Chao Phraya River, stay for the coastal Thai dishes – from plump, garlicky prawns to fiery coconut curries – served in the light-flooded dining room downstairs.
Which restaurant should you absolutely not miss while in Bangkok? This one. Dining at Supanniga Eating Room feels like you are in someone else's dining room, only your cook is highly skilled in making some of the best Thai food you'll ever. It checks out that the recipes all come from the owner’s grandmother.
A gold-trimmed addition to celebrity chef Thitid Tassanakajohn's ever-growing empire, this atmospheric restaurant overlooking the Grand Palace serves up fine-dining spins on old- timey recipes and has a tip-top wine list to boot.
