  5. Rachamankha

    Tucked away behind Wat Phra Singh, in the sumptuous grounds of the boutique hotel of the same name, one dines at the Ratchamankha to enjoy the antique-laden atmosphere as much as the food. The menu is Thai-centred, with hints of Myanmar, Yunnan and Europe floating at the periphery. On Friday to Sunday evening there's traditional Thai music.
