If you google for Pad Thai in Bangkok, almost every single blog is about Thip Samai. I have been here many times since 20 years ago and I know why it’s so popular. Thip Samai is touted the Best Pad Thai in Bangkok by both foreigners and locals and they have come a long way since its opening in 1966 (close to 50 years of history). There are many variations of Pad Thai here and the most popular is “The Superb Pad Thai”� with prawns wrapped in omelette. I must say that during my recent trips here, the standard is not consistent. But still, any of them will still be better than the ones you find in Singapore. Another reason I find myself coming back here because of their Orange Juice with lots of chunky pulp. To get here, please tell the taxi driver “Pratu Phi Pad Thai”. They will give you a blur face if you say Thip Samai.

To get here, you have to tell the taxi driver “Pratu Phi Pad Thai”. If you happen to be near the old town of Bangkok, Yaowarat (Chinatown) or Khao San road, it’s actually quite near to Thip Samai.

So is this really the best pad thai in Bangkok. Well, it’s subjective and I really urge you to come and try it for yourself! 🙂
