Folktales Cafe & Bistro — Restaurant in Khlong Khwang Subdistrict

Folktales also serve meals, and the one favorite of mine, the highly recommended, is Chu Chi Fried Seabass with rice. Chu Chi is a special variant of Thai curry that is enhanced with the fresh flavors of lime leaves.

It is the best I ever had in my years here. Every time, I will forget to take some pictures and when I realized, it was too late. So, no pic of that dish here, by try you must. Families often spent an hour or two here, releasing their children to make new friends and mingle.

It is also a great place for friends to just meet, chill and chat. This is a pretty appealing café & restaurant, and once you are here, you likely return as a regular (because the child will be pestering for...

There is an old adage that you can measure the standards of a business by the cleanliness of their bathrooms. That being said , Folktales bathrooms are the cleanist . Our meal had the same care and attention , perfect sauce for my carbonara, my daughters roti pizza with ham, pineapple & cheese was delectable. You may want to request a second and third one !!! Another guest had a Trad. Thai dish that looked like a piece of art it was plated so well. Praise to the owner on every level 🙏, comfortable setting, fun play area for my grandson 🙌, and a rather unique car collection one can visit on premises while waiting for your food . A beautifully restored 1968 Mercedes , a Daimler which resembled a classic jaguar, a classic Porsche 912, mini- coopers , a fleet of Volkswagen and more. Finally, be prepared to take home a minature toy car(s) as a memento from your visit here. I hope to have other opportunities...

They have lots of kid applealing menus, so if you have a fussy eater, I think you are sorted. We visit and re-visit again and again and again and the kids always come home...
