How to Get There
The restaurant is located in Talat Phlu, Bangkok, Thailnad. The closest BTS station is Wang Wian Yai, though it’s still about 2-3 km from there. The easiest way is to take a short cab from Wang Wian Yai to arrive at the doorstep or the restaurant. It’s also possible to take a bus to The Mall Tahpra or Thonburi Plaza and then walk from there.



This place offer a very nice zi char style food for late nighter. Open for supper and alway a lot of people.

Whatever they touch at this restaurant, they make well. There’s a small army of workers running around this neighborhood hot-spot, taking care of the large amounts of hungry folks that wander through.

The restaurant, located right in the Talat Phlu are of Bangkok, Thailand is easy to spot as the food is displayed pouring over onto the sidewalk. Laan Thung Khao Tom Hua Pla Restaurant is only open for dinner at night.

It’s a little more expensive than Thai street food, especially with the generous potions of seafood served. A normal meal should fall in the range of 150 – 250 THB per person.

How to get there

The street stalls runs in the morning right along Phra Athit road, and I didn't notice until finishing my meal, but they set up right outside Escapade Burgers and Shakes. It's right across the street from Santichai Prakan park.



Khao kluk kapi (ข้าวขลูกกะปิ) is one of the finest and freshest single plate Thai dishes available.

But unlike khao moo daeng or khao man gai that are available at countless restaurants throughout Bangkok, khao kluk kapi remains a little harder to find, often being sold in markets for takeaway consumption (rather than at sit down street stalls)

A plate of khao kluk kapi begins with rice, and it's not just steamed rice, but the rice is stir fried with shrimp paste to give it a slightly, yet not overpowering, shrimp aroma – that's what gives the dish its signature flavor.

On top of the shrimp flavored rice are a variety of toppings which normally includes green mango, omelet, red onions, dried shrimp, sweet pork, Chinese sausage, chillies, cucumbers, long beans, and some cilantro and green onions on top. of the ingredients gives khao kluk kapi (rice mixed with shrimp paste) an incredible spectrum of flavors that all work harmoniously together.

Now like I mentioned above, khao kluk kapi (ข้าวขึกกะปิ) is not easy to find at street stalls where you can sit down. But after seeing this street stall on a Thai TV show and then reading about it on Austin Bush's food blog , I went to check out Khao Kluk Kapi Niyngow (ข้าวขึกกะปินายงOW) for myself.

Just like the amazing khao mok gai that's near Khao San Road yet hidden from tourism, this street stall is located extremely close to the tourist backpacker street, yet it serves very local and very wonderful Bangkok street food .

If you want to have an awesome plate of khao kluk kapi (ข้าวขลูกกะปิ) that will excite your taste buds every single time, Khao Kluk Kapi Niyngow (ข้าวขลูกกะปินายงOW) is a wonderful little stall.

How to get there:
Fai Klom Thana (ร้านไฟกลมธนา) is not too far from Chatuchak Park (or market), but it is best to take a quick taxi ride from there. You can either take the BTS skytrain to Mo Chit, or the MRT to Phahon Yothin, and then take a taxi to Vibhavadi Rangsit, Soi 11 (which is the corner of the giant PTT building), then go down the road about 500 meters to Fai Klom Thana (ร้านไฟกลมธนา).



A few days ago, I was in the Chatuchak area of northern Bangkok, and I came across Fai Klom Thana on Foursquare; It looked like my kind of place, and since we were in the area, we went to try them out.

The actual atmosphere and style of Fai Klom Thana (ร้านไฟกลมธนา) was pretty much exactly my style.

It is housed in an old home, and though we were just a few blocks down the road from the mighty headquarters of PTT, it seemed like we were dining in the countryside.

We got straight to the ordering.

First dish to come out was a plate of tod man goong (ทอดมันกุ้ง), shrimp patties deep fried and served with a sweet syrup sauce.

I’m personally not a huge fan of tod man goong (ทอดมันกุ้ง), they sort of taste like big shrimp flavored chicken nuggets. But if you love fried patty style shrimp, these were very good (my wife really loved them). I thought they were good, just not my preference of a Thai dish.

Like I mentioned before, Fai Klom Thana (ร้านไฟกลมธนา) really is my kind of an atmosphere for a restaurant – the old school home, metal covered tables, plastic chairs… good stuff.

I also really liked the quiet location.

The food was extremely tasty, very good. But I did think that everything we ate was on the salty side, a bit too salty, but it could have been the day I ate there, or the particular dishes I ordered.

The tom klong (ต้มโคล้ง) soup was one of my favorite dishes, and I also loved the kana pla kem (คะน้าปลาเค็ม Chinese cabbage fried with salted fish), which was stir fried on a high heat, and flavored by salted fish. The mixture of ingredients in the boo neem pad prik tai dam (ปูนิ่มผัดพริกไทยดำ) was absolutely delicious, but it was a bit salty.

Anyway, overall it was great food, and I loved the atmosphere, just next time I would ask them to turn down the saltiness just a notch.
