I realise this is neither Issan nor London, but can I recommend the Chaophraya chain? If anything the inspiration seems to be from Khiri Mat (southern end of Sukhothai), but the chain does offer a “different” menu. (Ignore TripAdvisor. Every commenter seems to have gone for Pad Thai, for no good reason.)

Visited the Birmingham version a few years back, with my ex-boss (English) and his Thai wife, who I believe is also from Issan. We ordered everything on a combination of her recommendations and her conversations with the cooks, so I’d imagine we got as close to “authentic” northern provincial Thai food as you can get in this country.

I hugely enjoyed it.

One thing I have learnt from being asked this question by friends so many times is that they all mean different things by it. For some it will be the restaurant with the most spectacular views, for others, the best food. And, for those who have picked Thailand as their honeymoon destination, the most romantic. Because of this experience, I have now learned to give them all the same answer: “Google it!” It’s not that I’m being unkind or unhelpful, simply that what works for me may not work for..

I love driving in Thailand. Or to be more accurate, I love being driven in Thailand provided I’m able to call out “Stop!” whenever we pass one of the many interesting food or produce stalls that abound on the highways. In fact I do this so frequently that unplanned overnight stops are a common occurrence. You see in the UK you have “Little Chefs” and the like and you could play spot the difference with those. In Thailand you’re more likely to be confronted with roadside eateries disguised as ...
