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.

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.
