Baan Thai Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Tucked into a side street just south of Independence Monument, this restaurant could easily be in a Bangkok suburb instead of in the center of bustling Phnom Penh. Seating is on cushions on the floor or at tables. The decoration is understated yet very stylishly Thai. This ambience makes this local favorite a great place for long leisurely lunches and dinners. What the staff lacks in English skills they make up for in friendly attentiveness. The menu features Thai classics as well as beer, wine, soft drinks, juices, tea and coffee.
