Khun Yah Cuisine

Chinatown


Strategically located for a lunch break after visiting Wat Traimit (Golden Buddha), Khun Yah specialises in the full-flavoured curries, relishes, stir-fries and noodle dishes of central Thailand. Many dishes are already sold out by noon. Khun Yah has no English-language sign (nor an English-language menu), but is located east of the Golden Buddha temple, in the same compound.
