Oh Marikina, you are so good to me. You keep showering me with surprises, I only hope I can do you justice. Krung Thai is my new crush in your hood. I had been eyeing her for weeks. I'm so glad I had enough courage to finally approach her. In return she gave me an authentic Thai experience with food and my weak spot, textiles! Yes, as if the owner being from Thailand wasn't authentic enough, Krung Thai even had a corner of textiles! It was a mini Chatuchak. The cherry on top - Krung Thai offers cooking classes! Ya heard me correctly. Thank you Marikina, for these constant treasures.

Things to know:

• I recommend eating here for lunch after shopping for leather or picking up a custom item at the dry market. A fun filled day in Marikina.
