I tried to hunt down the best pad thais around and one thing for sure, the food court ones are definitely way pricier but for a more authentic taste, head to where locals eat only. Aroimakmak listed his top eats and we were lucky enough to track it down quite easily.
Located just behind Silom Complex, the lane that leads to the stall is busy and without a proper signage, I can identify the stalls with the robin blue walls that were featured.
The place was packed by 12noon and almost everyone was waiting for their food – an expected bottleneck since there was only 1 person frying away at the wok at such neckbreaking speed. Each plate probably took her half a minute and she was back at the start of refrying another plate.
One woman behind the wok that deserves much praise - watching her cook is therapeutic.
The pile of beansprouts.
In
the mass of thai words I can only manage “pad thai”, hoping it would
turn out as imagined. What took like almost 45 minutes later and nearly
everyone around us tucking into plates of noodle, ours finally arrived.
Slightly disappointed with what we got, we wanted the shrimp and prawns but ours came almost basic. We also did not get the basket of ginger shoots, beansprouts and the rest of what goes into a pad thai. Perhaps they thought we were tourists who did not have many encounters with pad thai.
