Kanchanaburi Restaurants

Thai restaurants in Kanchanaburi

  1. Apple Guest House

    This guesthouse restaurant introduces newcomers to Thai food without being condescending. Both the kaeng mátsàmàn (Muslim-style curry) and phàt thai are highly recommended.

  2. 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.

    Jukkru

    This well-established restaurant has a regular nightly crowd thanks to its simple but delicious dishes. Look for the blue tables and chairs outside. The collection of Burmese artefacts and shrine to the rear is fascinating.

    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.

    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.

    Blue Rice

    Along with standard Thai dishes, chef Apple has created some ingenious culinary twists, such as the eponymous rice and the wonderful yam sôm oh.
