Raan Jay Fai
ร้านเจ๊ไฝ
A one-Michelin-starred street food icon, where the goggle-wearing chef is famous for stir-frying her signature crab omelet over hot coals.
A one-star establishment in the 2026 Michelin Guide Thailand, where chef Supinya Junsuta, affectionately known as Jay Fai, is famous for her iconic look wearing goggles while tending to charcoal-fired woks. The signature dish is the crab omelet, featuring a golden, crispy exterior packed with crabmeat, alongside stir-fried prawns with yellow curry and various stir-fried noodles. Located on Maha Chai Road in the Old Town, the eatery has a simple, no-frills setting and accepts cash only. The queue is orderly but requires standing and waiting; some travelers report waiting four to five hours during peak times. Reservation policies vary by source, so please confirm before heading out. The crab omelet is around 1,000 THB. It is relatively far from the MRT, so taking a taxi is recommended. You can combine it with a visit to Thipsamai on the same street.
