THE SIXTH 6th — Restaurant in Phra Borom Maha Ratchawang Subdistrict

This has to be one of the best lunch spots in Bangkok, especially when you visit Wat Po area. About 5-7 mins walking distance from the pier, they offer you quite a selection of dish, ranging from local dishes to pastas. They are quite bold in their seasonings, which for me close to the taste that the locals eat.

Pad thai is quite tangy, I love it when I squeeze some lime on it. If you are not into sour things, I suggest forget the lime, but the lime would really help elevating the whole dish into another level. The vegetables that accompany the dish also so fresh. Crunchy bean sprout, soft and mildly salted chicken would surely take you into the heart of the Bangkok. The noodles are chewy, just the right amount. Also, generous portion are given to you.

The Tom Yum Goong is good, not really heavily spiced, but definitely way more better than the one that popping up lately. Lots of mushroom, shrimp are crunchy and way better than the restaurant that are recommended by some food bloggers. Definitely aimed for tourists as well, but I believe locals would love them as well. Price wise, all of this plus drinks around 700 baht. I ordered too much, It feels like I ate for 5 portions worth of food for the 3 of my companions, including me.

Overall their food reminded me of the food stall in the alleyway beside Wat Arun that used to drive passangers from Wat Arun to Wat Po in the 2018's, where there is no a single one in their menu that has english name, only locals eat there and the food are amazing. Sad that they are gone tho, but this restaurant quite deliver what I missed the most from that food stall.

Would really really come back...

Read the reviews of this classy Thai restaurant and decided to give it a try after my visit to the Grand Palace and Wat Pho temple (reclining Buddha).

*Spoiler Alert - Not suitable for those travelling on a tight budget.

Place was still packed despite the late lunch hour. Fortunately, there was an available table for my family of 5 pax. To be fair, this restaurant is slightly small.

Tried their Signature Tom Yum seafood and classic Thai green curry, and also the stir fried flat rice noodles with vegetables and chicken. My kids went for their bacon carbonara.... an interesting dish to see on Thai restaurant menu....went ahead and ordered, as my kids had too much Thai food the past week!

As reviewed by other travellers, the quality of all the dishes were superb, even the carbonara was top notch - my kids savoured the pasta with relish. I suppose western/European menu choices are to suit all taste palates. The carbonara is definitely worth a try if you wish to take a breather between consecutive days of Thai food.

Slightly high prices are expected for any restaurants located in the midst of tourist attractions. But what you'll get is quality and authenticity.

Spoiler Alert - Not suitable for those travelling on a tight budget as the cost of a meal alone can sustain all your meals for an entire day. But for those who want to try good quality and authentic Thai food, this place hits the right notes.

Did I also mention that it is also recommended by Trip...

After a visit to the magnificent Grand Palace , we (party of 3) decided to try out The SIXTH 6th based on the Google reviews; and they were true to their words.

Also since this region is about 3 min walking distance from the pious Wat Pho The Reclining Buddha we came across this restaurant.

This restaurant is one amongst tonnes of other restaurants present on the lane about 3 min walking distance from the Wat Pho.

They have a small seating space but that wouldn't be a problem at all. They have several traditional Thai dishes to choose from.

We took 3 different dishes and they were impeccable (especially the Panaeng Curry with Rice)!! If I weren't a tourist I would definitely visit the restaurant regularly for meals for the aforementioned dish haha!

The staff is polite, prompt in catering and helpful when it comes to explaining the menu, ingredients etc. to tourists.

Overall, THE SIXTH 6th is a lovely restaurant with a great ambience and I would definitely recommend you all...
