## Tracked entries

### Jay Fai
- Route role: Pratu Phi / Old-City Food Route
- Traveler fit: Use when traveler wants one famous food stop and is willing to plan around queue/time risk.
- Why it matters: A high-friction but globally legible Bangkok food anchor; useful for queue/reservation logic and old-city routing.
- Caveat: Avoid for low-budget, low-wait, group-with-kids itineraries.
- Confidence: High

### Thipsamai Pad Thai Pratu Phi
- Route role: Same Maha Chai/Pratu Phi Corridor As Jay Fai
- Traveler fit: Use as lower-friction historic Bangkok dish anchor.
- Why it matters: Pairs naturally with Jay Fai/old-city food route but with lower risk and stronger casual traveler fit.
- Caveat: Avoid if traveler wants low-sugar/noodle alternatives or no queue.
- Confidence: High

### Krua Apsorn (Dusit)
- Route role: Dusit / Government-Office Lunch Corridor
- Traveler fit: Use for lunch/dinner when a traveler wants Thai dishes beyond pad thai.
- Why it matters: Better static Bangkok recommendation than generic fine dining: local Thai, central enough, low romance/high food signal.
- Caveat: Avoid if traveler needs polished ambience or easy peak-time seating.
- Confidence: High

### Charoen Saeng Silom
- Route role: Silom/Bang Rak Lunch Route
- Traveler fit: Use as a compact lunch widget near Silom/Riverside.
- Why it matters: A sharp niche entry for travelers staying in Silom/Sathorn who want one old-school Thai-Chinese dish.
- Caveat: Avoid for vegetarians or travelers who cannot eat rich pork/offal-adjacent dishes.
- Confidence: High

### Or Tor Kor Market
- Route role: Chatuchak / MRT Kamphaeng Phet
- Traveler fit: Use for travelers who want market eating without high chaos.
- Why it matters: Works as a static market-food entry because it is an official attraction with stable location and high ingredient-discovery value.
- Caveat: Avoid if traveler wants low prices or gritty local market atmosphere.
- Confidence: High
