We came here back in May 2015 and again this past weekend. When we were here in May (must have forgotten to do a write up for that!) it was a great experience. We replicated it this time, even eating at the same spot at the bar. It was probably ~7pm when we were here and it was packed both times. We had a 20 minute wait. Usually you can wander around the neighborhood and the hostess will give you a call when your table is ready but being so chilly, we just waited in the vestibule area. We ordered a couple of Singah's while we waited.
We ordered an appetizer of squash fritters which are deep fried and a million times tastier than french fries! Unfortunately we filled up on these and being unaccustomed to deep fried foods, they made us feel sick later on :(
I also ordered the Three Flavours Pad Thai, which is the classic flavored pad thai. I got it with medium spice, with more spice on the side. Note to self, will probably get mild with medium on the side next time. And I am normally adventurous about spicy food! If you don't mind fishy flavors, try the Bangkok pad thai. We also ordered the Khao Soi, which was flavorful but a bit rich for our palettes. The coconut milk flavor is good though! Also ordered this one too spicy -probably would've enjoyed it better with mild spice level.
The Singah beers are great -gives you that authentic Thailand feel! We recently honeymooned in Bali and the Bintang beers there remind us of the Singah beer at Khao San Road. Brought back great memories for us!
Would recommend Khao San Road to anyone who hasn't been. There is another place down the road that our concierge had also recommended but had a much longer wait. Might try that one next time.
