I was gonna give good reviews on this at first but changed my mind since the exellence of restaurant should not only include the food itself but also the service. I went to the place because my friend suggested it but we didn't go for the tasting course. Everything went okay but then when I asked about the parking, the waitress at the cashier said the customers who didn't go for tasting course would only get one-hour free parking coupon, which I didn't say anything. Until, I went back to the parking to pay for the parking fee, it turned out to be 160THB for 2.45hrs parking. The staff there asked me why the restaurant didn't give me the 3-hr parking coupon since the landlord who rent out the places in that area want to help out the customers by giving out this 3-hr coupons to all restaurants, so they can give it out to people who dine and drink at the restaurants in the area. So, he told me to go back and ask that waitress, who tried to say the 3-hour coupon was for the tasting course customers, then gave the coupon to me anyway looking super annoyed and didn't say a word which was really rude. Like, hello? Do you seriously think you are trying to divide customers like this by free coupons which the landlord gives to you for free? I was actually planning to go back for the tasting course but no thank you. Let them continue on to set tiers for their customers using this stupid method. Not going back and will tell everyone how petty they are. And oh, if you want to go, suit yourself. But they judge you if you opt for cheaper dishes based from my experience so your choice. 4 stars for food. 1 for the service mindset which I'm blaming...

Burapa Eastern Thai Cuisine – Flavorful, Elegant, and Seriously Spicy! 🌶️🇹🇭

As a Thai person who loves Thai food, I can say this restaurant truly hits the spot. The flavors are authentic, bold, and beautifully presented. It’s exactly the kind of food I personally enjoy.

BUT! A spicy warning: Even if you ask for “mild,” the food here is still quite spicy — at least by international standards. If you can’t handle chili at all, I highly recommend avoiding dishes with chili entirely, because even their “less spicy” is still pretty spicy. 🔥

On the other hand, if you love spicy food — go ahead and order freely! You’ll be in heaven.

My top recommendations: • The grilled beef – so tender and flavorful. • The grilled squid – a must-order! Seriously, don’t miss it.

Honestly, every dish we tried was excellent. No wonder they’ve earned a Michelin star — it’s well-deserved! 🌟

The atmosphere is elegant and classic, with a unique interior that feels like dining on an old-fashioned train. 🚂 Staff were incredibly helpful — we were overwhelmed by the menu at first, but they guided us through with great suggestions.

Parking is available right next to the restaurant, which is super convenient.

Prices are on the higher side 💸, but considering the quality, service, and special experience, I’d say it’s worth it — especially for a...
