There should be several hundred restaurants within a few Km of any single spot in Nonthaburi or Saphan Sung which serve these dishes. In Yoawarat, assuming during the evening, just head down any lane/alley and look for a vat of boiling oil, some tables and some fresh pork basking in the warm evening temperatures.
Thanks for your help. I'll look around.
Saphan Sang Hi or Google Translate (S̄a phān sạng ḥī̂). You really have to lay into the Heeeee....
Select Thai and listen:

... is the Krung Thon Bridge across the Chao Phraya River on Ratchawihi:

It's the old name, but people still use it in the area:
"Krung Thong Bridge has been known to locals as Sang Hi Bridge (Thai: สะพานซังฮี้, Saphan Sang Hi) since construction began, before it was officially christened, because it extends from Ratchawithi Road, formerly named Sang Hi Road."
We have stayed at the Royal River Hotel in the room that just about overhangs the river. Good place.

Full disclosure: After years, I still can not pronounce "Krung Thon" properly. So the taxi drivers look at me quizzically.
