This is so near my hostel and yet i only tried it last day.
Pretty good beef soup but pricey.

Had a beef slice noodle 100thb, extra bean sprout 20thb

Nong Bee Burmese restaurant
Tried their burmese curry (50thb) and so different form Tong Tem Toh.

And order another plate of noodle next door.

Pad See Ew (45thb)

The pork rind (90thb) is better than the usual ones, this type come with some meat with it.

Huay Tueng Thao
Book a grab car with promo code 200thb off.

This is smaller hut, 400thb per night.

There are a few restaurant around the lake, they will serve to the little hut.

After the lake, driver dropped me at Central Festival.

Back to Tong Tem Toh for the last time.
Their grilled item only for 6pm onwards.

The 2 grilled item is not as good as expect. Still prefer my previous 2 meal in TTT.

After TTT, head to Sud Yoot Bahmi Sub Kraduk.

Noodle with bone soup (40thb)
Guava juice (20thb)
Love their guava juice, still prefer their Khao Soi.
