Thipsamai @ ICONSIAM is the branch of Bangkok’s legendary Pad Thai restaurant that has been serving this iconic dish since 1939. Instead of heading to the busy original outlet, I loved being able to enjoy the same authentic taste in the comfort of the mall.

I ordered their signature Pad Thai wrapped in egg, and it was absolutely delicious – the noodles were smoky from the wok, slightly sweet, tangy, and savory, while the prawns were fresh and juicy. The thin omelet wrapping gave it a beautiful presentation and added an extra layer of flavor. Sitting in the chic ICONSIAM environment made the experience even more enjoyable, combining street food heritage with modern dining comfort.

It’s clear why Thipsamai has a cult following – the flavor is addictive and feels like the essence of Thai street food elevated.

Travel Tips & How to Get There
• Getting There: Located inside ICONSIAM Mall along the Chao Phraya River; easiest via BTS (Saphan Taksin) plus shuttle boat, or by car/taxi.
• What to Try: Their Pad Thai wrapped in egg is the must-order dish. Pair it with a refreshing orange juice, another Thipsamai signature.
• Best For: Foodies who want to taste Bangkok’s most famous Pad Thai without queuing at the original location.
• Extra Tip: Go during off-peak hours for shorter waiting times, as it’s popular with both locals and tourists.
