There’s a new spot for affordable Southern Thai cuisine on Silom.

Looktor Norliang serves old-school recipes like kanomjeen namya poo (cold noodles with crab curry, B160), hot-and-sour nam choob (Phang-nga-made shrimp paste, B120) and deep-fried pla rang fish (B150) from the Andaman coast.

The most searing flavors come in the pad sator goong (stir-fried stinky green beans with prawn, B120), with its abundance of bird’s eye chilies.

The atmosphere is laidback and the decor pretty barebones, making for prices far more affordable than familiar names in Thonglor like Baan Ice and Phuket Town.
