Kuang Seafood - Rangnam Original
The kitchen runs until half past midnight, every day of the week, and that alone earns this place a spot in my Bangkok notebook. Most seafood restaurants in the city start winding down by ten. This one is still going when you stumble out of Victory Monument or finish a long day around Pratunam, and the food doesn't feel like an afterthought at that hour.
The cooking is straight-down-the-line Thai seafood. Grilled, steamed, or sitting under a proper sauce, no fusion nonsense. Portions are big enough that two people ordering three dishes will struggle, and the mid-range pricing means you can order a spread without wincing at the bill. It's a locals' room rather than a tourist stop, which shows in the noise level and the turnover at dinner. Nobody's dressing up. Nobody's whispering.
If you want it calm, come mid-afternoon or right at 11:00 when the doors open. Peak dinner means waiting, and I'd rather eat late than queue.

Tips for Visiting Restaurants & Food
Learn the Spice Scale
Say 'mai pet' for no spice, 'pet nit noi' for a little spice, or 'pet mak' if you want it Thai-hot. Most cooks will default to a toned-down version for foreigners unless you specify otherwise.
Follow the Crowds
The busiest street stalls are almost always the best — high turnover means fresh ingredients and a recipe that locals vouch for. An empty restaurant at dinner time is a red flag.
Ice Is Safe
Factory-made tube or cylinder ice (used in virtually all restaurants and stalls) is made from purified water and is safe to consume. You don't need to skip the iced Thai tea.
