Soodsathorn is located at the far end of Sathorn Road. The owner came to us with a clear idea: a restaurant that serves street food and seafood in a warm, laid-back atmosphere.
We renovated a two-story shophouse in a heritage street. To open up more kitchen space, the old staircase was demolished and rebuilt at a new spot. As guests enter, they are greeted by the show kitchen — a stainless-steel frame with counter seating for those who enjoy watching the cooking in action. The kitchen combines orange, white, and gray acrylic with wood and polished steel, echoing the mix of Thai street food culture and the colorful details of local fishing boats.
At the back, a neon sign points toward the new staircase leading upstairs. The stairwell, wrapped in corrugated zinc panels with raw steel steps, contrasts against the preserved wooden floor structure, recalling Bangkok’s street scenes at night.
On the second floor, the dining space feels calm and homey. Cream-colored walls set a warm backdrop, while pendant lamps made from everyday Thai objects — like zinc bowls and food covers — add a touch of nostalgia, as if dining at home.
Soodsathorn was designed to reflect the owner’s vision — a casual mix of street food and seafood. The neon lights, shaped like sea creatures, bring that idea to life. Simple, playful, and glowing just like the streets that inspired us.
