» Situated in Piman 49 in Sukhumvit soi 49, amidst the hustle and bustle of Thonglo area, is Kaiyang Suayai by Mangmoom, a Thai restaurant with a statement and a clear passion.

Srikhumrung Yukol Rattakul, not only translates original recipes which have been passed on over generations within the family into carefully prepared Esan dishes but also has a passionate desire to retain the north-eastern Thai identity in all its glory. There are no holds barred in terms of the use of ingredients, formulation, tastes, scents or forms when it comes to the cooking and this results in the authentically delicious dishes that Esan people would not have any other way. The cheerful atmosphere accentuated by the bright and striking colours of the restaurant typifies the unique character of the owner and is intended to compliment the experience of enjoying these sumptuous Esan dishes with absolutely no pretense.
