What is it?: Located at The StandardX, Bangkok Phra Arthit, right by the Chao Phraya river next to Phra Arthit pier, BANG is where the seasonal, sustainable menu of Thai street food gets a modern twist. From a casual breakfast, quick lunch or a lively dinner, this is the place to dig into classic Thai dishes that feel familiar yet reimagined.
Why we love it: BANG serves up Thai comfort food by the riverfront with a menu that’s equal parts nostalgic and next-level. The restaurant captures the essence of Thainess by honouring traditional flavours while giving them a modern twist. Dishes including signature battered crispy green papaya and fresh green papaya salad, nam prik long rua Tha Phra Arthit and green curry with Thai beef gold shank offer a familiar taste of Thailand, staying true to their roots while embracing a contemporary edge that makes everything feel fresh and exciting. For dessert, the offerings are as varied as they are delicious, with Thai custard pumpkin and Thai tea with salted egg ice cream providing the perfect mix of richness and Thai-inspired sweetness. The best part is that everything's designed to be shared, making it a place that’s perfect for gathering with friends or family.
Time Out tip: Don’t rush through your meal – take time to enjoy the view of the river, or the stylish furniture and artwork, including both paintings and sculptures, placed throughout the restaurant, allowing you to relax even more in this cosy riverside atmosphere.
