Baan Pu Karn
บ้านปู่การ
A Michelin Bib Gourmand Thai restaurant in the chef-owner's own home compound, serving home-style flavors with local ingredients and uncommon seafood.
Located northwest of the Ayutthaya Old City near Wat Tum, in the chef-owner's own house. It has been listed in the Michelin Guide Thailand's Bib Gourmand in consecutive years. Dishes focus on local ingredients and fresh seafood that is rare in Ayutthaya, with prominent herb aromas and naturally sweet shrimp and crab. The Michelin Guide specifically recommends the lotus root yellow curry soup. Prices are modest, and the restaurant is cash only. The 2026 edition notes that it does not take reservations, and dishes may sell out early, so arrive early. Closed on Tuesdays. There is parking. It is about 5 km from the Old City, so you will need a car or taxi.
