Why it matters
Why Tham Na Hometaurant is worth your time
Banglamphu is where most visitors end up eating pad thai from carts or western food on Khao San Road. A small vegetarian restaurant on Samsen Road gives an alternative that is quieter and aimed at people who want to know what is in their food.
For older travellers, calm matters as much as the menu. Fewer crowds, a domestic atmosphere and affordable prices make it a good place to rest after a morning on the temple circuit.

How to experience it
Tham Na Hometaurant is at 175 Samsen Road in Banglamphu, on the quieter side of the old tourist district. Wikivoyage describes vegetarian and organic food in a homey setting and recommends the mushroom curry. Opening hours are listed as Monday to Saturday, 08:00 to 21:00, with dishes at roughly 100 to 120 baht.
Start with the mushroom curry and rice, then add one or two vegetable dishes to share. A homely room like this usually suits slower eaters, and it is less rushed than the Khao San restaurants a few minutes away.
The guide says vegetarian but not Pure Veg, Vegan or Jain, so travellers on stricter diets should ask about egg, fish sauce and garlic. Sunday closures catch people out, so plan this one for a weekday after the Grand Palace, Wat Pho or the Golden Mount.
Plan with confidence
Small checks that make a better meal.
- Do not plan it for Sunday, when it is listed closed
- Ask about egg and fish sauce if you follow stricter rules
- Take a taxi or tuk-tuk to the door
