Singburi is an off-the-beaten track destination in Central Thailand. There are several local attractions that are well worth a visit, as well as a selection of places to eat, drink, and relax. Here are some of the best restaurants in the Lion City.

1. Baan Suan

Baan Suan is a charming countryside restaurant, set on large wooden platforms on stilts. There are several spacious seating areas and the tables are very well spaced. There is a roof to provide shelter from the sun and rain, but the open sides provide great views over the adjacent rice fields and the small river that runs in front of the restaurant. The karaoke rooms are popular. Baan Suan specialises in the local delicacy of bplah chon Mae La, a type of snakehead fish, though the extensive menu also features many other Thai dishes too.

2. Coffee Milk

Coffee Milk is a cute restaurant, with a handful of colourful and whimsical statues outside. Sit inside in the air-conditioned room or outside in the courtyard. There are many Thai dishes to choose from and the restaurant also makes great coffee. Tuck into noodle dishes like rad na, pad see ou, and pad Thai, fill up on rice with various accompaniments, savour a spicy Thai salad, and more.

3. Chaisaeng Palace

Chaisaeng Palace is one of Singburi’s most high-class hotels. It has an on-site restaurant-bar that is popular with hotel guests, locals, tourists, and expats alike. There are Thai dishes and a small selection of Thai-style steaks and sandwiches. The drinks menu is diverse, with imported brands that can be difficult to find in smaller restaurants. There is often live music during the weekends.
