I don't know the name of the dish, but one I enjoy for lunch is fried yellow noodles served with a thick pork sauce. There's a place down near the junction of Petchkasem and Chomsin - heading south.
My wife was often asked to get the noodles in until she learnt how to cook it herself. I prefer it with the large, less hot chillies soaked in Thai vinegar as a condiment.
Bring some on tomorrow, missus

lomuamart, Sounds like Lad Na...if by thick pork sauce you mean gravy like.

Nam Ya with Khanom Jiin...fish like curry with fresh veges!

I like bamee bet (egg noodles w/duck) but fairly dry, easy on the soup.
I eat it at the line of carts near soi 54 (I think) but the best I've had was deep in the bowels of Pratunam market in BKK.

Pratunam Market - which one is that Johnnyk please? Theres an entrance to a quite bowelly looking market opposite HuaLamphong Station, but I've only ever stopped for coffee there in the entrance and never ventured further. (Tables down an alleyway near the Station Hotel entrance.)
Get coffee there early morning and they fetch you a huge plate of deep fried sweet puffy pastry things which are deeelish, and free!
Otherwise have to agree with HHFarang - goong should be completely de-shelled, de-whiskered, and beheaded. The tiny dried ones are OK in small doses. Not a pancake full.
Pad Thai is great. Larb also (tried making it home in UK and its so time consuming and fiddly. You realise what a bargain it is in LOS.) And like Pete I also love Masaman and Penang curries. They're not Thai - but IMO preferable to Thai curries. Maybe because they are more the thick sauce type curry which we are used to.
Noodle soup - great with loads of minced moo. And after 16 years finally tried rice porridge with big juicy goong. Fantastic.
I once had a very thick chicken soup in HadYai with raw egg stirred into it. Excellent - but it must be a southern style soup as I've never seen it elsewhere.

Yes, if the noodles are flat and wide... if they are the skinny round yellow noodles I think it's called something else but that slips my addled mind at the moment.

Margaret - Pratunam is the big clothing market at the foot of Baiyoke Tower.

Totally agree with you there Crazy88. It's always too sweet! If I want good Pad Thai here, I have to ask the missus very nicely to make it for me...

GOOD Pad Thai? All cooks have their own way with it - a kind of Thai version of paella I think - but Crazy88, have you tried the stall on the corner of Chomsin and Naebkerhardt?
Thanks JohnnyK for Pratunam location - yes, been there, really is 'bowelly'!
