Likhit Kai Yang

Located just behind Rajadamnern Stadium, this decades-old restaurant is where locals come for a northeastern-style meal before a Thai boxing match. The friendly English-speaking owner will steer you through the ordering, but don’t miss the deliciously herbal, eponymous 'charcoal roasted chicken'. There's no English-language sign; look for the bright pink shopfront and an overwhelming grilled-garlic smell emanating from inside.
