This dirt cheap Thai is a Joy. Actually, that’s the larger than life hostess’s name, but it’s a good adjective and we’re sticking with it. Well loved by a number of locals, this neighbourhood BYO serves up its tasty morsels with lashings of personality. The dark interior is small and crammed with tables, a bit like the Bangkok street caff that it aspires to be, but that’s the point – good cheap fun and nothing more. A short warning though: be nice to Joy – she tends to get a little “feisty” with people she doesn’t approve of…
