Baan Mae is a dining room in Shaw. Tables are booked on OpenTable. No release time is confirmed here.
Baan Mae doesn't publish a release schedule, and we haven't confirmed one. The reliable way in is an alert that watches for new dates and cancellations.
The secrets
OpenTable reservations are only for parties larger than four; smaller groups walk in. Arrive with your whole party: after a 10-minute grace period, an incomplete party is moved to the waitlist.
