Chan Road food guide
Fish rice soup is a clear bowl with fish, known for a late sitting rather than a morning congee. Hia Wan on Chan Road is closed Wednesday and Thursday.

The order is khao tom pla at 2 Chan Road. A standard fish bowl is 90 to 160 THB, and pomfret runs up to 500 THB. A BTS or MRT ride elsewhere in the city is 17 to 62 THB, then a short taxi to Chan Road.
Skip this, go here: Wednesday and Thursday are shut at Hia Wan, so those nights need another bowl. Brass-pot jok in Bang Sue is thicker porridge, 30 to 100 THB, daily until 21:00.
