Jay Tiw
A block away from Kok Kaat, towards the city centre, Jay Tiw boasts only 19 dishes, but emphasises quality over quantity. To reach both restaurants, hop on any sǎwngthǎew heading south along Th Saengchuto and ask to get off at sǎalaa klaang jangwàt (City Hall). The restaurants are more or less across the street – just look for the rows of stainless steel pots.

Golden Cup
When only real coffee and air-conditioning will do, head to this tiny café. To bring you back to Thailand, try the shop’s signature thawng múan, known here as ‘crispy rolls’, a Thai sweet associated with Kanchanaburi.

Jukkru
It lacks the glamour of the floating restaurants opposite, but Jukkru compensates with superb Thai cuisine. There is an unusually large vegetarian selection for a Thai restaurant. Look for the blue tables and chairs outside.

Sutjai
A garden-style place on the western bank of the river next to the one-lane bridge. It has a bilingual menu, but little English is spoken. It's a little out of the way, but better than the other riverside restaurants in town.

Sitthisang Coffee Shop
In an historic yellow-painted shophouse is this cafe and restaurant with friendly staff and real coffee. The building has been in the family for generations, and the young owner is happy to talk about its history.

Keeree Tara Restaurant
With stunning views over the river and bridge, this big, modern place serves delicious Thai food at very reasonable prices. We found the usual suspects – green curry and pàt tai – in excellent form here.

Floating Restaurants
Down on the river are several large floating restaurants where the quality of the food varies, but it’s hard not to enjoy the atmosphere. Most cater to Thais out for a night of drinking and snacking.

Krua Chukkadon
