Basil Thai 15

Tucked away in an alleyway, almost walked right by it. A hidden gem, the price is cheap and food was good. If you aren’t good with spice, make sure to ask for very little spice. Pad Kra Pao was spicy but delicious. Seating is minimal and all outdoors so keep that in mind when you visit this place.

Best meal I’ve had in Thailand so far! This restaurant is very unassuming - I wanted to visit after reading so many raving Google reviews, but was shocked to find it tucked in a small laneway with zero customers (I had to ring the bell to let the owner and her colleague know they had a customer as they were both out the back). They were both lovely and I felt like I was in a Thai family’s home. I ordered the pad kra pow and the papaya salad and loved them both. The ingredients tasted so fresh and the dishes had such great flavour! Will definitely try visit again before I leave Bangkok.

Great little hidden gem. It's in a small ally. The food was fantastic. The menu is a great price with good options. You have to look at the big menu outside. Also there is no English on it. Pick your food by the picture and use a translator. The place is super small. Room for 6 people outside and 4 inside. A lot of locals eat here. Don't be surprised if its full when you get there. Also, very important, if you ask for spicy, this place is Thai spicy.
