Baan Rim Khum Cafe & Restaurant — Restaurant in Kathu

Good place to get tasty Thai food. I wouldn't say this place really stood out in terms of flavors, but it was generally good quality. One thing, I would not recommend the fried rice, unless you have to have it. Maybe the portion we ordered was too big (medium), but it didn't have that wok hei that I was expecting. The Tom ga gai wasn't quite sour enough. We added juice from a lime, and that made it better. They are also a cafe, so there's a large selection of drinks. Drinks were not bad, but I felt the iced drinks had too much ice. Maybe it's like that here generally. Staff was friendly and accommodating, though we weren't particularly demanding. We were 3 adults and 2 kids aged 6 and 4. They have indoor (AC to about 26-27°C) and outdoor seatings. We opted for indoor, cuz who doesn't want to eat in comfort? After eating, we went to the outdoor seating area (deck built over the pond) to feed the fish. You can get like a 500ml (or 16oz bottle) of fish food to feed. It's well worth it if you have kids (and adults too, lol). We spent about 250 baht per person including drinks, and it was a lot of food. I would go back if I were in the area and hungry, else I would look for others just to explore...

I took Tom Kha Gai and passion fruit mojito, my partner asked for anything vegan (e.g. veg curry with rice or smth like this?) and coconut shake. Both drinks were 5/5, my Tom Kha Gai was great with a very smooth texture and taste.

However, I put 3/5 for food and service, because my partner wasn't as lucky. They brought my soup fast, asked to wait a bit for my partner's dish, then asked to wait again, then brought essentially steamed vegetables and plain rice. To be fair, it is vegan, but it was also tasteless. My partner finished the food since she was very hungry, but was otherwise disappointed.

Dear restaurant, if you don't know how (or cannot for any reason) to cook tasty vegan food - just say it, and we will go to a different place, no need to disappoint us.

The atmosphere...

Great food and wonderful area. Menu has a lot to choose from and the prices are moderate to low but this will not impact quality, well cooked with great teast . Staff really nice and friendly, in some restaurants you feel more welcome than others, in this we feel really welcome.

Maybe it can be little bit hard to find the restaurant when it's not on the main road, just behind some private homes.

Most of the restaurant is on bridges and it's also possible to get your own bridges. I would suggest a visit both for families or couples.

Bonus for children it's that you can buy fish food and feed the thousands fish that's swimming around...
