Baan Klang Naam.
Situated at Rama 3 Soi 14, Baan Klang Naam is abit faraway from the main city area of Bangkok. A taxi trip from areas like Pratunam would set you back 100+ baht. Considering how slow the taxi meter jumps in Bangkok, you probably can imagine the distance. Despite its location, I think its always worth a visit. Its not so popular with tourists yet, probably because of its location and lack of promotion as well. That ensures that the price is kept to a modest level and is cheaper in comparison to the other restaurants in tourist areas.
The food there is very good and fresh because you get to choose your seafood straight from the tank. It also have an extensive menu which would be very useful if you do go in a group of 4 or more. Having a group of friends eating together allows you to order a variety of dishes. Some of the common dishes I never fail to order would be dishes like fried sweet and sour garoupa, prawn with fruits in mayonnaise sauce, tom yum goong, mixed vegetables, green curry. You get the rough idea.
A meal comprising of the above dishes would cost roughly about 50SGD and it can easily feed 4 or more people. I can safely say a meal like this for 4 people would cost close to 100SGD in Singapore. Plus you get to enjoy your food with very nice river view away from the hustle and bustle of the hectic city life of Bangkok. Seriously worth a try if you are in Bangkok.
A point to take note though, when boarding a taxi to the restaurant, it would be good to ask your hotel staff to translate the address and write it on a piece of paper to show the driver where the location is. Otherwise, if you are feeling confident enough, tell the taxi driver "Pharam Sam Soi Sip See" and enjoy the journey to the restaurant. Great view along the way too as you will be to see this very nice hanging bridge across the Chao Phraya River.
