About
168 Thai Restaurant takes up rooms 275–276 on lane 46/1 in Section 3 of Chatuchak Weekend Market, and it is a sit-down restaurant with proper tables rather than a stall you eat at standing up. Time Out Bangkok's market guide prints the prices: pineapple fried rice 336 baht, and pad thai, green curry and tom yum at 168 baht each. Time Out calls the portions huge and singles out the prawns on top of the pineapple fried rice.
The kitchen mixes standard dishes with its own versions. Funliday's 2026 Chatuchak food guide picks out a tom yum prawn fried rice that puts the soup's sour heat into the wok, a banana-blossom salad spaghetti, and a pineapple red curry served with fried salted fish. It also notes the Thai-style room is often full.
This is a weekend restaurant: Google lists Saturday and Sunday 10:00–18:00, Funliday 09:00–18:00. Google shows 4.8 from just over 1,000 reviews. From MRT Kamphaeng Phet, take exit 2 into the market and head for Section 3.
