What it is: Opened by Chef Mark from The Nai Harn Hotel along with his wife Pan, this burger spot brings home the bacon, sans the gimmicks. A favourite in the Koh Kaeo neighbourhood, they make everything in-house. From sauces to patties, buns to sides – everything is about freshness and consistency.
Why we love it: Pan Burger's focuses on honesty, quality and simplicity – so what’s not to love? Patties are ground daily using a special blend of premium wagyu beef, and their salad is notably organic, sourced from small growers in Khao Yai and Chiang Mai. For an unadulterated experience, the my way burger perfectly showcases this promise with no distraction – a premium wagyu patty, gooey aged English cheddar and sweet caramelised onions come served between a toasted homemade bun. And although this is a burger list, we can’t help but also mention just how good their fried chicken sandwiches are. To lock in flavours and juiciness, the chicken breasts are wet-brined and marinated, then doubled-fried to achieve a crispy, golden coating. Back to beef, kKeto fans can skip the bun and enjoy egg-topped steak haché, a nod to Chef Mark’s first jobs working in French bistros.
Time Out tip: If you still can’t decide, then the pan burger trio has you covered with a slider serving of their three top hits.
