Hello folks. Coming back to BKK soon and I'm looking for a new place to eat alongside the river. I need to try something new and I need your help....here are my requirements.

1) Not at a hotel.

2) Not the restaurant above Arun Residences as I have been there 1,000 times and they need to change their menu up a bit...unless the menu has changed recently.

3) Someplace that I can take kids....in other words - not a bar.

4) The menu needs to at least have pictures. My Thai is good enough to get around town, but not read a menu.

5) Need good river view.

6) Close to one of the river taxi boat docks would be a plus assuming I can walk/tuk-tuk/taxi easily from there.

7) A mix of farang food and Thai food would be helpful with the kids - but NOT a place just for farang. If anyone has a really local place - that's great as long as there are some pictures of the food on the menu....(the kids can eat rice.)

8) Don't need a/c - outside is better.

9) Prefer the city side of the river, but if you've got something really great on the far side - let me know.

Thanks!

Located at the Thewes express boat pier, pier #15, Cook Chom's Shop serves up some mighty tasty food at great prices. The menu is in Thai and English, along with a few pictures. It's a rather unique dining experience!

Baan Klng Nam is popular. It's at the far south end of town, near where Narithiwat hits Rama III road.

Yok Yor is also popular, although it's on the Thornburi side. But, it is, now, easily accessible.

Curt1591- thanks. Cook chom looks like a winner. I was trying to find out what the Thai name of the place was so I could ask for it when I got off the pier, then I read the sigh behind him....cook chom! That should make it easy! Thanks again.

Yok Yor has its own boat that takes you acroos the river from River City. Great Place. It's next door to The Hilton.
