About Khrua Khun Kung

Tucked inside the Royal Navy Club carpark, this Chao Phraya waterfront escape trades palace crowds for serious Thai seafood. Follow the blue signboard toward the river. You can settle outside by the water or cool down in the enclosed, air-conditioned dining room. Tables fill up with groups splitting rich curry crab with egg, wok-tossed morning glory, and coconut-rich gaeng phed ped yang. The deep-fried red fish under fresh herbs and tamarind sauce commands a 30-minute wait and repays every minute. Order a fresh mango smoothie without syrup to balance the chili heat.

  • Riverside Setting: Set within the Navy Club carpark right on the Chao Phraya, featuring breezes outside and chilled indoor seating.
  • Signature Seafood: Plates include rich curry crab with eggs and a standout whole red fish crisp-fried with herbs and tamarind.
  • Fiery Curries & Greens: Hearty duck red curry, green chicken curry, and fresh morning glory bring authentic chili heat.
  • Palace Escape: Steps from the Grand Palace and Wat Pho, hidden past the carpark away from standard tourist congestion.
