Thipsamai is located on which Bangkok road?

Thipsamai is located on Maha Chai Road in Bangkok.

The restaurant is in Samran Rat, a historic neighborhood near Bangkok’s “Ghost Gate,” or Pratu Phi. Thipsamai is especially famous for its pad thai, made with sun-dried sen chan noodles from Chanthaburi Province and a house-made prawn oil.

The business began as a street stall in the 1950s before moving into a permanent storefront in 1966. Its story is associated with Samai Baisamut, who reportedly sold pad thai with her mother from a boat before the family established the Bangkok stall. The restaurant’s name honors Samai.

A common mix-up is confusing the original Maha Chai Road location with Thipsamai’s later branches. The restaurant now also has locations at Iconsiam, Siam Paragon, and near Phutthamonthon Sai 4, but the landmark restaurant described in the question is on Maha Chai Road.
