"This was the best meal in my entire Kanchanaburi trip. We ordered the prik gaeng pork, fried frog, fish with chili dip and gaeng som. Really delicious but really spicy. I cannot decide which dish is my favourite as I love all of them. But probably the prik gaeng pork 😂"

"Local taste and enrich with flavors.
Fish cake / stir fry chicken with fish sauce / stir fry cat fish with red curry paste / stir fry cat fish with spicy sauce are worth to try."

Since there are few restaurants around the temple area with similar concepts – view over the temple and spots to take photos – it took us about 10 minutes to figure out which place to chose. In the end, even it sounds completely stupid, we went to the restaurant with the name Matakan (มาตะกาญจน์) because of an idea for our Instagram – to finally get a photo with a white staircase to the sky since we didn’t have any.
