Hence, you must arrive at 8:30 am to avoid the crowd and I am assure that your wait will be 30 minutes only, as I did. Meanwhile, Jay Fai opens her street food shop at 9:00 am to make her tasty Thai food. Moreover, if you are lucky like me and come alone. They might give you the table with the best view, in front of the Thai chef.

The price

Certainly, to be Thai street food you are paying a lot of money. In effect, the cost of the Crab Omelette is $1000 THB around $40 AUD, besides a beer that is pretty much so cheap $160 THB.

Did I eat something at Jay Fai?

Indeed, nope the crab omelette was more than enough, plus a Thai beer. However, I am thinking to go again to try more of her Thai food. Because I will be in Bangkok until 2 of July of this year.
