10 places across Phra Nakhon (Old Town), Khao San, Rattanakosin (Old Town) and Samsen.
Old Town & Khao San covers four neighbourhoods in Bangkok: Phra Nakhon, Rattanakosin, Khao San and Samsen. Two MRT stops serve it, Sam Yot and Sanam Chai. Boats stop at Phra Arthit Pier.
Nine of the ten venues are restaurants. Thai kitchens hold most of the range: Thipsamai does pad thai wrapped in egg and fresh orange juice at $$, and Krua Apsorn works stir-fried crab in yellow curry and morning glory in Phra Nakhon. Jay Fai charges $$$ for a crab omelette and dry tom yum. Nusara tops out at $$$$. Expect tom yum goong consomme, Isaan tartare and Thai wagyu stir-fried with holy basil. Indian kitchens make up four of the nine. For Indian restaurants in Khao San, Bangkok, Taste of India Bangkok sends out butter chicken, paneer tikka, garlic butter naan and mango lassi.
Only one bar is in the mix. YABAR Secret Bar & Rooftop pours Swag Duck in the Bath and Mom Mao from a rooftop in Khao San. Ratings run high across the group. Five of the ten sit above 4.7, and most of those are the Indian kitchens near Khao San and Samsen.
