It’s my favorite Thai food! I always get the C4 or C5. It’s super spicy though so ask for no spice or 1 Star if you’re a chicken! Good vegetarian options as well.

Traveler advice
What to pack
The weather
I feel like the weather is unpredictable here. You might have cold rain one day and then hot sunshine the next. It’s a humid area so beware of your hair! Just pack for anything. Layers are your friend!
