Priscilla Ice Cream
59 ซอย ริมคลองมอญ Wat Arun, Bangkok Yai, Bangkok 10600
Priscilla is the right stop after walking the Wat Arun riverfront and wanting something genuinely local. The Thai-base flavours are made with more care than the price suggests and the quality shows. Taro and butterfly pea flower are worth trying first if they are available during your visit. Go late afternoon before the evening tourist surge arrives and the riverfront area picks up pace.
Priscilla Ice Cream is an ice cream shop in the Wat Arun area of Bangkok Yai. The shop sits on the west bank of the Chao Phraya River between the Tha Tien pier and Wang Lang market. Tourists who have crossed from the Phra Nakhon side and local Bangkok Yai residents both visit regularly. The flavour range is built around Thai ingredients rather than the international options common at chain operations. Coconut milk bases and taro feature consistently in the permanent selection throughout the year. Butterfly pea flower and local seasonal fruit appear on the menu when they are available. These Thai-ingredient options are difficult to find at the larger chains across the river. Scoops are made in-house using a production method that shows in the texture and density. Sweetness is calibrated to the individual ingredients rather than set at a uniform commercial baseline across all flavours.
The shop runs with an informal setup and the pace is unhurried compared to mall-based ice cream counters. This atmosphere fits the riverside character of the Bangkok Yai district in a natural way. A regular local following has developed alongside the tourist traffic from the Wat Arun temple area nearby. Pricing is accessible and noticeably lower than comparable artisan ice cream at central Bangkok locations. Portions are honest and remain consistent from one visit to the next without variation. Seating inside is limited but the riverfront nearby makes walking with a scoop a workable alternative. Late afternoon is the best time to visit before the evening tourist influx picks up pace. Weekday mornings offer the quietest experience and typically the widest flavour selection of the day.
