Jim Thompsons HouseA great place to eat if you are heading around the main sights is the Thompson Restaurant. Its attached to Jim Thompsons House, with a beautiful and serene spot on the veranda. You can eat great food while away from the noise of the streets outside, soothed by the bubbling waters of the pond and serenaded by the occasional singer. The food is all local, as is the ambiance, and is some of the best Thai food youll find on the beaten tourist trail.
