Additional Information: Baan Phadthai or House of Phadthai is an open door restaurant with only fans decorated in a traditional manner but Phad thai here is surely not as traditional but rather an elevated version. Long story short, Pad Thai had become popular in Thailand during the period of World War II. Mr. Plaek Phibunsongkhram, Thailand’s prime minister was campaigning for Thai people to “enjoy Thai food & use Thai products” to establish Thai nationalism. That’s not all...

Due to this campaign, Pad Thai was invented utilizing only local raw materials and ultimately Pad Thai was considered to be one of Thailand’s national dishes.

Nowadays, some food vendors alters the original recipe by adding in pork chops and more. However, here at Baan Phadthai they still use the original recipe but has elevated it to a new level. The picture above shows one of its variation, Phat Thai poo (Crab Phad thai) it’s also available with shrimp or pork. Pad Thai is delicious, nutritious, and a quick dish to make, and has now become popular in many countries around the world.

Baan PhadThai could be a little tougher to find, but you got the google maps link, so not to worry! Baan Phadthai is located in a small soi between Robinson and Shangri-la hotel. Well, its close to Bts Saphan Taksin which could help you get closer to this delicious Baan PhadThai, it’s definitely worth visiting for all the Phat Thai lover and who will become one.
