Ayatthuya has many options for dining. Of course you find a lot of opportunities along Naresuan Road, the backpacker road. "While the food is tasty, all offer similar menus of toned down, priced-up Thai food, as well as western standards of burgers, steak, chips, pizzas and breakfasts etc.", notes travelfish.org. But Ayatthuya offers a lot more:

Ban Mai Rim Nam บ้านไม้ริมน้ำ: 33 U-Thong Road. At double the price it's the most expensive of three restaurants along the river, "but in terms of quality food, extensive fish menu and split level open-air terrace, it certainly outshines its neighbours", comments travelfish.org.
