The place resembles the interior of an old, exclusive train carriage. This decor creates a wonderful atmosphere for the restaurant. The staff is perfectly dressed and very professional. The sizes of dishes are medium, so prepare to order a little more. The prices are the only thing that falls short of other incredible bib gourmand places. Still, I highly recommend this place.

Burapa is an excellent Thai restaurant that truly deserves its Michelin selection. The pork fried rice was the best I've ever had. The crab and pork skewers were good, but were not  outstanding.

We were firrst for lunch and it was fantastic.  Stepping in there drowned out all the noise and mayhem of Sukhumvit and transports you to a 1930s Orient Express train car.  There was trendy but stylish pop music playing.  I ordered the Fried Prawns in Tamarind Sauce and my wife ordered the stir fried pork set menu.  Both were fantastic and our server was very professional and helpful.  We ended up sharing a mango with sticky rice with salted coconut milk on top, so tasty.  This is a Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant and we walked in with no reservations for Friday lunch in high season.  You will enjoy the whole experience!

Definitely the best meal I’ve had in Bangkok so far! Every dish was amazingly done including the cocktails and desserts. Ambience was delightful as well, and so was the service. Even better than one of the 1-Michelin star restaurants we’ve been to before. Highly recommended and a must visit!
