Street food is a quintessential part of the Bangkok experience. Wherever you go in the city, food stalls are plentiful and you will find a high concentration of them in busy areas. Some street vendors operate in groups, especially in local markets, which means you can go to the same place every night and have a different choice of meal. Some even open around the clock. Chinatown(Yaowarat) There are many small streets and alleys full of shops and vendors selling all types of goods. It has been the main centre for trading by the Chinese community since they moved from their old site some 200 years ago to make way for the construction of Wat Phra Kaew, the Grand Palace. Nearby is the Phahurat or Indian market, and the area is bordered by the Chao Phraya River to the south. Yaowarat Road is also well known for its sheer variety of food, and at night turns into a large "food street" that draws tourists and locals from all over the city. How to get there: Easiest way to get to Chinatown is by taxi, but alternatively you can take the MRT to Hua Lamphong station, and then walk to Chinatown from there (10 mins) or take a tuk tuk / motorbike. Open hours: Morning and daytime are good for browsing markets, evening and night is best for street food Soi Sukumvhit 38 Sukhumvit Soi 38 is a night food market, offering different kinds of Thai street food.It is frequented by tourists and expats, and I wouldn’t say it has the best street food in Bangkok, but it is very convenient, the vendors are friendly, and you’ll find a decent selection of Thai dishes to choose from. How to get there: Take the BTS Skytrain to Thong Lo station (ทองหล่อ). Exit #4 (you’ll see the street perpendicular to the station as you are on the sky- walk), walk down the steps, then make an immediate u-turn, and you’ll be there – it’s impossible to miss. Open hours: About 5 pm – 2 am daily (but to ensure most stalls are open, go more about 6:30 pm earliest). Also, Monday’s are street cleaning days in Bangkok, so you’ll notice less street food stalls open citywide, so if you have a choice, Mon- day is NOT the best day to go – some vendors may be closed. Silom Road/Silom Soi 20 This blue-collar street market is a virtual microcosm of Thai cuisine. Muslims deep-fry marinated chicken in front of the mosque, while across the way Chinese vendors chop up stewed pork leg and Isan women pound away at mortars of sôm đam . Live on the edge a little and proceed past the stalls with English signs peddling the predictables. How to get there: Take the BTS skytrain Chong Nonsi station, exit #2, and then make a left on Silom Road, walk all the way until you reach the Sri Maha Mariamman Hindu temple, and Soi 20 is across the street on your right hand side (15 minute walk) Open hours: Morning market from about 6 am – 9 am, and in the evening you’ll find some restaurants open as well, but better in the morning Bangkok Buffet: Baiyoke Floating Market Bangkok Sly Reataurant Bangkok Balcony Premium Bangkok Show:Lumpini Boxing Ratchadamnoen Boxing Siam Niramit Show Puppet Show Calypso Cabaret |
