Three Sisters Restaurant

Old Town comfort food, cooked fast and over a roaring wok. Three Sisters is a tiny shophouse kitchen beside Wat Thepthidaram on Maha Chai Road, a 15‑minute walk from Khao San past Democracy Monument. Grab one of the metal stools and watch the aunties work the pans—flames licking high, ladles clattering, plates hitting tables in steady rhythm. Pad Thai is the headliner here: smoky, slightly sweet, and properly chewy, with plump shrimp if you want to splurge. Regulars also swear by the kua gai—wide rice noodles tossed with chicken, egg, and greens until they pick up that lovely wok char. Portions are generous and prices are friendly to backpacker budgets: most dishes run 70–100 THB (~$2–$3). Come early or swing by before the lunch rush if you want a seat. It’s open daily from 7am to late afternoon, drawing nearby office workers, temple-goers, and students. No frills, just honest plates that taste like Bangkok—served with a smile and a side of street‑corner atmosphere.
