Ban Chiang - an over rated top restaurant

Bangkok -  Ban Chiang restaurant is a short walking distance from Surasak BTS station housed in a traditional Thai bungalow. We sat on the ground floor and could hear creaking timber ceiling sounds when guests are seated on the 2nd floor. The whole restaurant is decorated with memorabilia of old photos and vintage stuff. Many tourist and hardly a Thai patron in sight.

Gourd leaves with roasted duck

Crab fried rice

Thai Green curry

Omelette with prawns

Steamed sea bass
The sea bass fish was a disappointment as it was not a fresh live fish but probably a chilled fish from the taste of the meat.    The condiments are usually strong herbs to mask the smell of chilled fish.   I think tourist rate this restaurant primarily on the atmosphere and ambiance but the food is just OK.   Unfortunately not worth a second visit.
