Baan Khanitha By The River - Asiatique Bangkok Thailand

Thai cuisine is one of my favorite so far.  Probably in my top 5 dishes of all time.  And when in Bangkok, we wanted to experience authentic Thai cuisine.  We searched the internet for restaurants and come to this restaurant in Asiatique along Chao Phraya River called Baan Khanitha By The River.

There were a lot of customers when we arrived as it is at the peak of dinner time at 7pm.  But we were seated in no time because the restaurant has a huge seating capacity.  I was so excited to choose from their menu and decided to ordered the following:


Tom Kha Khung Nang - River Prawn Soup with Coconut Milk

Phad Priew Wan Moo - Stir-Fried Pork with Sweet and Sour Sauce

Poo Nim Phad Sauce Makham - Stir-Fried Soft Shelled Crab with Tamarind Sauce topped with Crispy Mint

Khao Niew Mamwang Ice Cream Gati - Mango and Sticky Rice with Coconut Ice Cream

As expected, I love the taste of everything we ordered.  But what stood out the most is the Soft Shelled Crab with Tamarind Sauce and the Mango & Sticky Rice with Coconut Ice Cream.  I'm really beginning to love Thai cuisine more and more.  I can't wait to try out new Thai dishes when I come back to Thailand.
