When we decided to try some authentic Thai food, our Hotel boss Varun Chibber and designer Rohit gave us a unanimous recommendation of a Thai street food joint called Raan Jay Fai..a Michelin Awarded restaurant and listed by the world's 50 best!
The joint is run by Jay Fai , an elderly lady. The place is small and one should be prepared for a long waiting que in general. Luckly we reached early and could get a table in 30 min, but had to wait for the food for another 30min.

Crab omelette |
Our first order was the highly recommended Crab omelette - stuffed with lots of juicy carb meat. It was good but nothing extraordinary.
My colleagues tried few other stuff like the tom yum dish.. The food overall was very good but I could not understand the hype. The ambience was ordinary , service was slow and almost rude and the cost was also on a very high side for a street joint.
Many tourists add this experience as a must do in Bangkok and hence one can understand the over hype and pricing!
