River Tree House — Restaurant in Nonthaburi City Municipality

The receptionist smiles; bringing her hands to her chest and 🙏 me upon entry.

I'm guided through banana foliage, snake plants (not literal 🐍) and orchids.

I'm seated by a riverfront overlooking a tangerine pink skyline.

The catfish are playing and the birds are whistling.

The place is packed. I heard it was popular but didn't believe it until I saw it!

I look through the cocktail menu to start the afternoon on the right foot. It's a hot summer's day. Let's go for the Long Island Tea to quench my thirst! Seated amidst the tranquil symphony of nature, my book becomes the ideal companion, and the creaking teakwood planks beneath me add to the charm of this serene oasis.

My stomach growls. . . It's time for dinner.

I dive into the food menu, considering the Isaan Papaya Salad but curiosity leads me to the intriguing Pomelo Shrimp Papaya Salad.

Turning my attention to the curry offerings, I find myself pondering over the choices: green, white, yellow. Anticipation builds as the dishes arrive.

The Pomelo Shrimp Papaya Salad is a vibrant medley of cilantro, Thai basil, zesty lime juice, sweet pomelo, and mumbo-jumbo shrimp. A steaming hot-pot is placed before me, and the aroma of the creamy broth alone makes my mouth water. Jasmine rice arrives, the perfect complement to the forthcoming curry delight.

I end the evening by indulging in a slice of blueberry pie, each bite transporting me back to cherished childhood memories of my mother's loving pie baking.

It's a place to celebrate life with loved ones and create...

Baan Rabiang Nam is a true gem nestled along the Chao Phraya River. The restaurant's serene ambiance, coupled with the gentle river breeze, creates a perfect setting for relaxation and good food.

The accompanying dipping sauce is the perfect complement to the prawns' rich flavor. While the prawns steal the show, the restaurant also offers a diverse range of authentic Thai dishes. I recommend trying the stir-fried mixed vegetables and the crispy fish with sweet chili sauce for a taste of local cuisine. While on the pricier side, the quality of the food and the enchanting atmosphere make Baan Rabiang Nam a worthwhile splurge.

My recent visit to Baan Rabiang Nam was an enchanting experience. Nestled by the river, the restaurant offers a stunning view that complements its rustic charm. The old wooden house has a nostalgic feel, evoking a sense of stepping back in time.

While the ambiance is delightful, the prices are a bit on the higher side. However, the quality of the food somewhat justifies the cost. The grilled river prawns were a standout, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The sour curry with vegetable omelette was a comforting dish, with the right balance of tanginess and texture. I also enjoyed the fried river fish with curry paste, which had a satisfying crunch and a rich, aromatic flavor.

Overall, Baan Rabiang Nam is worth a visit if you're looking for a place with character, good food, and a picturesque river view. Just be prepared to pay a little extra for...
