Hom duan

Hom duan serves Northern Thai food in a casual, modern space in Ekkamai. Most of the dishes are laid out canteen-style at the counter, so you can choose whatever looks good, but for me, the reason to come here is the khao soi.

I’d confidently say this is some of the best khao soi I’ve had in Bangkok. The bowl arrives almost overflowing with noodles and meat (chicken or beef) in a rich, creamy coconut curry broth with just the right amount of spice.

Prices are really reasonable, the dining space is clean and modern, and it’s become one of my favourite places to eat in Bangkok. I come here regularly and it never disappoints.

One tip: don’t wear a white top. I can almost guarantee it’ll end up splashed with khao soi!
