This week I shall bring you another local that we just stumbled upon. There seems to be new cafes and restaurants that have been springing up in our local in the last couple of years. It may not become the next Brunswick or Smith Street but I have to admit that I never thought I find nice places in my local to eat! But my mind is slowly changing.
Khao San Road may sound familiar to some of you that has travelled and visited Bangkok. It is a famous street in Bangkok that attracts backpackers and budget tourists. I would say that is quite a bohemian type area that also attracts local artists and party people. Having said that this restaurant is not emulating this famous street. Dark wood chairs and tables occupy the space. The usual Buddha artwork hangs on the walls and some of the decorative table lamps have priced tags on them.
I was looking at the map of places that I have eaten since I started this blog and it is rather sad that I have not really explored my local at all. We have been in this area for the last 3 years and know so little about the food here. I guess some of the cafes and restaurants do look rather suspicious and even though I said many times not to judge the book by its cover, I find it hard to just walk into a empty place and “check” it out.
Anyway, I thought we should just make a point to start exploring. Singha Thai seems like a good place to start. The place looks old and rundown. The price seems reasonable. And there were only 2 other tables.
