About
Lay Lao is a Thai-Isan restaurant with Hua Hin roots that grew out of Ari and opened this Silom branch in the Yada Building, right beside the BTS Sala Daeng stairs. A Wongnai feature says the brand has been in the Michelin Guide five years running (the Ari branch is the one listed). Reviewers have recorded prices: glass-noodle pork rib tom saap 225++ baht, 'sunrise' fried larb 185++, half grilled chicken 185++, Luang Prabang som tam 115++, squid with roe 295, caramelised pork belly 185 and the Lay Lao som tam platter 195, while Grab's list points to clear Lao suki and claypot tom yum. Spend runs from 251 to 500 baht a head up to 501 to 1,000 if you order seafood. The room is large with plenty of tables, but groups over four should call ahead. Open daily 10:30 to 23:00. Google rating 4.5 from 970 reviews.
