Pad thai on Mahachai Road, at the Pratu Phi branch. A focused food stop to work into an old-town outing.
A single-dish starting point for an old-town food outing. Check this branch’s current hours; the budget marker is an editorial guide, not a fixed meal price.
Sometimes the food plan can be pleasingly specific: go for pad thai, then let the rest of the day find its shape. This entry is for the Mahachai Road restaurant, not the branches inside shopping centres.
The English branch page and Thai footer currently list 09:00–midnight, closed Tuesdays, while another section of the Thai page still shows older evening hours. Confirm directly before an early visit; the conflicting timetable has not been added as confirmed opening hours. Consult the current menu for prices. This is a source-checked introduction rather than a first-hand meal review; the photograph shows the restaurant in 2016.
