Ban Klang Nam, Bangkok

A beautiful spot, nice reasonably priced seafood, but service becomes a bit rushed at busy times so if you want to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the river, go midweek...

Friendly ,cosy, informal overlooking the river! Excellent Thai seafood !!! Also curry' s, lobster and oyster' s ! Tip ; make a early reservation for a table. Good parking place and taxi service.

This is a must-have dining experience when visiting Bangkok. The riverbank setting gives you a very relaxing ambience. We visited Baan Klang Nam mid-week, and while the place was nearly full, service was typical-Thai attentive. The curry crab is beyond imagination. The curry paste is actually not spicy, but extremely flavorful. Being a seafood restaurant, Tom Yum Gung is a must, though it is not particularly memorable. The mango with sticky rice dessert is also excellent - but then anything with SE Asia mango is excellent - and is a great way to wrap up your meal.

My wife (who is Thai) & I go here once or twice every time we visit Thailand. She especially likes the BBQ Crab. For something fun, hire a longtail boat from the skytrain pier and they will take you on a personal boat tour, ending at the dock of the restaurant. [Watch out for the slippery steps though.] The restaurant is a little expensive, but a good bargain for farangs.
