I luckily stumbled on this place after trying to take a friend to Khao San Road and discovering we would need to wait a long wait time. We walked around the block basically and stumbled into Pai. I instantly loved the atmosphere. It's this warm, inviting space in the basement of a nice old building. The lighting is right. Music is fun. Service is on point.
The Khao Soi is incredible. It's creamy, spicy, sweet, savoury. Everything good. Perfect for when you need some serious comfort food. The squash fritters are a great snack. The Khao Pla Tawt is some delicious light and tasty fried fish.
I had a mango juice to go with everything and I just felt blissed out by food. This is place has great food with a great atmosphere. Check it out.
