Tham Na — Restaurant in Wat Sam Phraya Subdistrict

My boyfriend and I stayed at Tham Na November 2008 at the end of our Thailand trip for a day and a half.||||The owners live above the restaurant and have 2 double rooms that they let out. The accommodation was simple, yet comfortable. Each room also has its own separate bathroom. Great for under B1000, including breakfast.||||We arrived in Bangkok from Chiang Mai, me feeling a little under the weather after my previous nights dinner disagreed with me. I was very pleased to find a english, vegetarian menu with lots of options for my delicate tummy. ||The owners are into organic produce, and all the meals we ate during our stay felt healthy and nutritious.||||We also happened to be there for Loi Kratong, and walked to the river to watch everyone let their floats set sail. Khao San Road was also a short distance away. We also had our cheapest and best Thai massage across the road, about 2 sois up.||I especially remember the mushroom burger - the taste and texture was amazing, a meat eater would love it.||||The traffic is quite hectic during the mornings and afternoons, and we did find it difficult to catch a taxi there after shopping at MBK. Luckily the taxi driver was very patient, but it did take ages. Next time I would use the river taxi.||||We had our own set of keys to let ourselves in at night, and felt quite comfortable and at home at this unique...

Don't mind the picture on Google Maps, the shop moved its location and does not look like the main photo in the profile. The place is now called Chang Kin Phuk (notice the elephant on the sign). Better to come by boat, motorbike, grab, or walk as there is ongoing major road construction. We came by boat to Phra Arthit pier and walked for less than 10 mins.

We love the mushroom larb tod dish so much we had to return for another go around! All of the Thai dishes that we tried were really good. Don’t expect your usual tourist dishes here, Chang Kin Phuk’s specialty are real local dishes and some Western dishes.

As some of the other reviewers say, this establishment is a level above most of what you see on that street (as quality, dish selection, and prices go).

We will...

This place is a delight if you are vegetarian and especially if you like mushrooms. They use a lot of Thai local vegetables. Small place, clean, not too crowded yet popular, fast service and reasonably priced for the quantity and quality. Try their fresh juices. Their brown rice is really good. I lived in the vicinity for a few months and happed to visit them quite often. They also have pastas, but I didn't try them. The local food is so delicious that never felt like trying...
