Chaophraya
Chaophraya has easy access to the train and bus station. It has nice wide walk ways, a good size lift and the disabled toilet isn’t too shabby either. Check it out here.
Trinity Kitchen
With a concept that is completely unique, Trinity Kitchen rotates six new street food vans every eight weeks and offers visitors the chance to experience various flavours and cuisines under one roof.
As an added bonus, Trinity Kitchen is not a bad little spot if you are disabled either. There are staff on hand to help you carry, fetch or clear up. There is plenty of room for move (even if you have large power chair) and the disabled loos are very specious. Although the toilets do not have full changing facilities.
Trinity stays open late and has a few spacious lifts leading to it.
