The hotel is beautifully decorated, blending modern luxury with traditional Thai elements, creating an elegant atmosphere. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, even surprising us daily with thoughtful gestures. The free tuk-tuk service to the nearby skytrain station was a convenient perk.

    Zong Peep

    This place is a bit of a hidden gem for khao soi, open late too which is a bonus if you’re craving a midnight snack. I got the beef version with the original noodles and it hit the spot—meat was tender enough to fall apart, though the broth wasn’t super rich compared to what I’ve had up north. If you’re vegetarian, they do an off-menu tofu option which is pretty cool. Oh, and don’t skip the sticky mango rice for dessert, it’s worth it. Just make sure to grab a seat under the fan or it gets warm in there pretty quick. Overall solid comfort food without any fuss.

    Kampang

    Had a craving for some authentic Isan food and Kampang mostly delivered. The grilled chicken was definitely the highlight—juicy and nicely marinated, though I had to wrestle a bit with meat sticking to the bone. Tried the papaya salad too, which packed a punch but wasn’t overwhelming. The Jaew Hon noodles came with a strong spicy kick even though I asked for less heat, so heads up if you’re sensitive. Service was okay but not exactly speedy; there was quite a gap between some of our dishes arriving. The place felt pretty cramped during dinner rush, so maybe avoid peak hours if you want a quieter meal. Prices leaned towards the higher side, but portion sizes were reasonable. All in all, tasty food with some quirks—would come back mainly for that grilled chicken and som tum combo.
