Ann Tha Din Daeng is a family-run seafood shophouse that has held its spot at 167 Tha Din Daeng Road, Khlong San, for more than twenty years. MICHELIN calls this neighbourhood the "Little China Town" of the Thonburi side — an old riverside Chinese community that still has a living, traditional feel, with old shophouses, longtime family businesses, and the smell of hot woks drifting through the lanes. The restaurant grew up alongside the neighbourhood until it became a landmark that locals on the Thonburi side know well, and in the 2026 MICHELIN Guide Thailand, it earned a Bib Gourmand — the award MICHELIN gives to restaurants that are genuinely delicious at accessible prices. MICHELIN's inspectors specifically called out the salt-and-pepper fried prawns and the clams with sweet chilli paste and Thai basil, which says a lot, since those two dishes look like the simplest on the menu — and simple is the hardest thing to get truly right.

The dish that made the restaurant's name is the fried river prawn with salt, at THB 450 each — a whole large river prawn fried until the shell turns crisp, with the prawn fat still intact. It's the dish people cross the river specifically to eat. If you're in a group, there's plenty more to add: the salt-and-pepper fried prawns that MICHELIN praised, clams with sweet chilli paste and Thai basil so fragrant you'll want extra rice, and crab meat in yellow chilli curry with generous chunks of crab. What's likeable about the place is how wide the price range runs — simple dishes start from around THB 100, all the way up to the large river prawns, averaging out to roughly THB 300–800 per person, so you can eat cheap or go all out depending on your budget. The atmosphere is an ordinary shophouse restaurant with fast table turnover and plenty of takeaway orders. A 4.3 rating from more than 863 reviewers confirms the consistency isn't a fluke.

One thing worth knowing before you go: this restaurant still runs everything the pre-platform way — cash only (MICHELIN notes this in the guide itself), with no online booking system of any kind. If you want to book, you'll need to call the restaurant directly at +66 81 695 0597, and its seafood supply is limited per day — once it's gone, it's gone. Several reviewers report the restaurant closing early on some days when it runs out of stock, so if you have your heart set on the river prawn, get there early. Another thing that makes this trip fun is the journey itself — take the Gold Line to Khlong San station, then it's just a 5-minute walk, taking in the old Thonburi neighbourhood along the way. It adds up to a meal that delivers both MICHELIN-level food and a slice of Bangkok most tourists never reach.
