Baan Thai Street Food

You'll find yourself on Park Terrace near the city centre, stepping into somewhere that doesn't pretend to be precious about what it does. The menu reads like someone's actually cooked in Thailand rather than just visited once. Expect your pad thai properly charred, your curries built on real spice foundations, and som tam that makes you sweat in the best way. The room's unpretentious—think casual counter seating and no faffing about with presentation—which is exactly when Thai food tastes best. It's the kind of place you end up recommending to mates without meaning to sound like you're showing off.
