Naam 1608 น้ำ 1608

Naam 1608 is a Thai restaurant in a restored wooden house on the Chao Phraya, hidden at the end of a slim alley off Song Wat Road at number 1608 in Talat Noi. Time Out describes a mellow daytime cafe that turns into a busy evening dining room as the light fades. The back deck opens straight onto the water with only a few small tables, and boats drift past while you eat. Reviewers keep mentioning the sunset, live music and friendly service. The food is classic Thai with a home-cooked feel on a short menu; the dishes foreign reviewers recommend are nam prik long ruea and kaeng som fish curry, and Wanderlog notes grilled river prawns at weekends. The recurring complaint is that portions are not large, though everything tastes fresh and made with care. Travel sites put the spend at roughly 250 to 700 baht a head. The room is small and often full at weekends, so book. Open Tuesday to Sunday 11:00 to 22:00, closed Monday; Google adds that Friday and Saturday run to 23:00. Google rates it 4.6 from 3,500 reviews. About ten minutes on foot from MRT Hua Lamphong, or the express boat to Ratchawong pier.
