I used to eat next door at Thipsamai fairly frequently. When I was a youthful backpacker the 90B version there was all I could afford. I think Jay Fai was 300B or $8US at the time and I thought that that was too expensive. LOL!

I remembered we had a discussion about Thip Samai a while back. Just checked - it was more than 7 years ago now. How time flies!!

[Bangkok] Pad Thai lunch at Thip Samai (ผัดไทยทิพย์สมัย), Putta Monthon.

Thip Samai is perhaps Bangkok’s best-known pad Thai eatery. However, its original Mahachai Road location (which has been operating since 1966) near the heart of Bangkok is only open from 5pm for dinner - but I was supposed to meet my Bangkok uncles/aunts for lunch. So, a cousin decided that we should to go to Thip Samai’s other outlet - the one at Putta Monthon, 1.5 hour’s drive north of Bangkok which is opened for lunch as well. The menu is the same, but my Bangkok relatives preferred the food…
