Pad Thai Mae Am is a modest yet highly rated spot that's walking distance from the Klong Toey MRT Station. Specialising in only 2 noodle-based dishes (the second being kuay diow gai or thick rice noodles and chicken), Pad Thai Mae Am really brings things back to basics. Seating comes in the form of miniature stools, while the tired-looking walls are adorned with old photos and magazine clippings.

The pad Thai recipe is just as old school (which can only be a good thing) with the noodles being prepared before with tamarind paste, palm sugar and fish sauce, and then given a re-fry to give them a classic pinkish colour. The result is about the best we’ve ever tasted in Bangkok – not too greasy to give you a heart attack, but not too clean to make you feel like you’re on a diet.

This is my second choice after Thipsamai.

Up you bro
