About
The best of many similar places along the riverbank just opposite the main tour attraction, Wat Yai, Pae Pha Thai is a friendly, casual eatery with no pretense. Indulge in the kind of spread you might find in a Thai home -- tod man plaa (deep fried fish cakes), phad kaprow (chicken with basil and chili), tom yum soup, and a whole fish encrusted with garlic and lemon. All dishes seem to be made all the better by being served at water's edge.
