What Google Reviewers Say About Ya Lek (Grandmother Lek) Phad Thai Hoi Thod (Thai Fried Noodle & Fried Mussels) [2nd branch, Dinner)
★ 5 — Supisa Kisananone
I ordered the fried mussels and shrimp. The taste was okay, the batter was crispy, and the shrimp were fresh and large. Overall, the taste was alright, not bad. They have a wider variety of menu items than just fried mussels and pad Thai. I've never eaten at the original branch though.
★ 5 — Thanapat Ovatnupat
Ordered 2 dishes: Traditional Pad Thai: chewy noodles, crispy and salty dried shrimp – unlike any other restaurant's. Fried Mussels: chewy mussels, not oily.
★ 5 — golf6566 apinan
The Pad Thai was delicious, with plenty of shrimp, and the flavor was moderate. The basil fried rice was nice and dry, and the omelet was crispy.

🍚 Bangkok rice porridge (khao tom & jok) — where locals go
🌙Rice congee set ฿60–120
Khao Tom Pratunam (24-hour legend)
Chinese-Thai rice soup (khao tom) — thin, silky, fragrant · Pratunam market area
Bangkok's most famous late-night khao tom (rice soup). Open 24 hours since 1965. Chinese-Thai style congee with pork, seafood, or century egg. Extremely popular 11pm–3am.
💡 Order the 'khao tom set' (฿70) — rice soup + side dishes. Add a raw egg to stir in. Century egg (kai yiao ma) is essential, not optional. Best at 1–2am when atmosphere is peak.
👑Jok ฿50–80
Jok Prince (Silom original)
Thai jok — thick rice porridge, breakfast food · Silom area
Bangkok's most famous jok (thick rice porridge) vendor. Pork meatballs, liver, century egg, ginger, scallions. Thai-style jok is thicker than Chinese congee — almost like cream of rice.
💡 Jok is traditionally a breakfast food (5–11am). Order extra ginger and white pepper. The raw egg stirred in adds richness. Queue forms early — arrive by 7am on weekends.
☀️Congee ฿60–100
Yod Tan (Thai-Chinese Morning Shop)
Cantonese-influenced fish congee · Yaowarat / Chinatown
Traditional Yaowarat-style open-shop rice porridge. Watch the huge woks simmering all night. Fish congee (khao tom pla) is the specialty — whole fish steamed in the porridge.
💡 Chinatown area has the most authentic 24-hour congee spots. Fish congee with ginger and sesame oil is the most Thai-Chinese dish you can try. Eat with the provided dipping sauces.
📱 Thai SIM card guide — which to buy & where
📶Tourist SIM ฿299–599 (7–30 days, unlimited data with speed cap at 1GB/day after fair-use)
True Move H
Best for tourists — widest 5G coverage
Thailand's most tourist-friendly SIM. Pre-registered SIM — no Thai ID needed. Airtime + data bundled. International calls included on some packages.
💡 Buy at airport arrival hall (counter clearly marked). 7-day unlimited: ฿299. 30-day unlimited: ฿599. Activate by scratching the code and calling the number on the package.
🔵Tourist SIM ฿299–499 (7–30 days)
DTAC (now NT)
Good coverage, reliable speeds
Former competitor to AIS and True, now merged with NT. Good 4G coverage countrywide. Some promotions beat True on price — worth comparing at airport.
💡 Look for the blue logo. Registration sometimes required at counter vs True's self-activate. Ask staff to help register if purchasing at mall location.
🔴Tourist SIM ฿299–699 depending on data bundle
AIS
Thailand's largest carrier — rural and island coverage
Best carrier for visiting islands or rural Thailand — coverage where others drop out. Koh Samui, Pai, Khao Yai all have reliable AIS signal.
💡 AIS Passport SIM specifically designed for tourists — most commonly recommended if traveling outside Bangkok. Ask for the 'AIS TOURIST SIM' specifically.
Quick tips:
- •Bring your unlocked phone — Thai SIM cards are nano/micro/standard and shops will cut to size
- •Buy at airport arrival immediately — skip the roaming bill. Setup takes 3 minutes.
- •Line app (Thailand's WeChat) uses data, not SMS — WhatsApp works fine too
- •5G coverage: only Bangkok and major cities. Everywhere else is 4G (still fast)
- •Tethering/hotspot allowed on all tourist SIMs — great for traveling with tablets
