A quintessential feature of Bangkok is the street food. It’s cheap, delicious and the best way to relish authentic Thai eats. Prized around the world, Thai cuisine is delectable and here is a guide to some of the best around town.
Places to find street food
An unassuming roadside cart, a group of vendors at a local market or a traditional shop house is a great place to start. If cleanliness is a worry, eat at busy places where tourists and locals gather. Most street food vendors will sell a combination and only a few will understand English.
Popular dishes
Som tam is the famous Papaya salad, made from fresh green papaya mixed with fish sauce, long beans peanuts, coriander and chilli. Also try Khao pad, the Thai equivalent of Fried Rice, Pad Thai Kung, a preparation made from noodles and shrimp and Khao mun gai, a steamed chicken and rice dish among many others.
Bangkok Old Town
Bangkok Old Town (Koh Rattanakosin) has Pad Thai Thip Samai, serving the best Pad Thai in Bangkok! Not far from Bangkok Old Town, you can find an apartment for rent in Bangkok, like those at Maitria Residence Rama 9 Bangkok.
Khao San Road
Khao San Road is the sister street of Soi Rambuttri. Along with the many other streets of Bangkok, the Khao San Road has many encounters with restaurants and street food like tom yum soup, mango sticky rice and banana roti.
