Hidden by the River: Authentic Thai Food That Hits All the Right Notes!

#hatyaitrip 📍Address: The Roots House The Roots – A Riverside Gem for Authentic Thai Food & Coffee Lovers Tucked away by the riverside, The Roots is more than just a café. While they serve great coffee and cookies daily, their authentic Thai dishes truly stole the spotlight — honestly even better than many spots in the city! We ordered three dishes and were pleasantly surprised that the total came to just 543 baht: • Tom Yum with prawns – 250 baht (The prawns were super fresh and plump!) • Thai-style omelette with minced pork – 99 baht • Thai fried rice – 89 baht • Steamed rice – 25 baht • Latte – 80 baht The food was packed with flavor, cooked with heart, and the ingredients were clearly fresh. The tom yum especially had that perfect balance of spicy, sour, and umami — with juicy prawns that impressed us right away. And the ambience? Absolutely perfect. Surrounded by greenery and the gentle sound of the river, it’s the kind of place that feels like a peaceful retreat from the city buzz. The only catch is that it’s a little out of the way — about a 20-minute drive from the city center — but 100% worth it. If you’re craving good food with a view, The Roots is a spot you’ll want to add to your list. #myitinerary #afternoonteatime #myitinerary #couplestrip #naturalwonders #thingstodo #localfood
