Elephant District in Dumbo serves authentic Thai street food inspired by Tha Chang, Bangkok. Owner Salang Niphitkunthong aims to create an immersive experience for tourists and locals, showcasing the communal and vibrant nature of Thai dining. The restaurant's colorful decor features murals of elephants set against New York City landmarks. Signature dishes include Brooklyn Bridge Pad Thai with prawns and Hormok Pla, a fish curry. Niphitkunthong emphasizes the importance of food in Thai culture and expresses pride in promoting authentic Thai cuisine in an international setting.
I want to transport tourists and New Yorkers to Tha Chang so they can feel Thai food, how Thai community and Thai area look like.
To him, Thai street cuisine represents 'good, delicious and authentic food.'
We are so proud to be in Dumbo and promote Thai street food, so international tourists and New Yorkers would recognize our Thai food.
You get the feeling of the neighbor, of the food, the fondness.
