Creator's Key Takeaways

If you're 65 and older, it's only $5 round trip. So, hey, I got that going for me.

It was absolutely fabulous. Um, their red chicken curry was wonderful, too. Although, I would suggest if you have a bigger appetite, order the dinner portion for lunch.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Look for apartment hotels with kitchens and washers/dryers to save money and stay organized.
Use the Western Avenue entrance at Pike Place Market to find quieter corners and avoid the main crowd.
If visiting Noi Thai, order the dinner portion for lunch if you have a large appetite.
Take the ferry to Bainbridge Island to escape the city noise and enjoy skyline views.
