This is an article about the best places to eat in Bangkok. Fly to Thailand and get eating! Introducing:
Baan Khanitha
Thailand Restaurant
The first thing to notice about this super popular restaurant is the decor. Littered with antiques and and paintings, it provides the perfect setting for a traditional Thai feast. The menu is classic Thai fare and there’s a wide selection of dishes to choose from. The seafood is grand, and the herbs used in each dish are divine. Curried fish, salads, beans, pandanus leaf wrapped chicken and sticky rice. Traditional Thai food at its best.
69 South Sathorn Rd, Bangkok 10120
Buritara
Beautiful restaurant set on the waterfront. If you like seafood, this is the restaurant for you. You can choose between traditional Thai, or go for Chinese and also European dishes. The top fish to go for here is the crab, which comes in a variety of different ways. Excellent, excellent.
762/2 Rama III Rd, Bangkok 10120
Mahangaga
Dining in this restaurant makes you feel you are a hundred miles away from the city. The main point to get across about this eatery is the presentation of the food. They are among the prettiest dishes you will find in Bangkok and range from danty spring rolls, leaf combinations and dazzling noodle soups. (Happily, nothing like the food you’ll no doubt receive on your flight to Bangkok!)
2 Sukhumvit Soi 29, Bangkok 10110
Methavalai Hotel
This hotel is an absolute dream and the food is reassuringly good. They serve the very best of tradiational Thai dishes, in the form of locally sourced seafood, big feasts and barbeques. Expect the very highest standard with great staff.
78/2 Ratchadamnoenklang Road, Pranakorn,
And last but not least….street vendors
For a real Thai experience and one you can have everyday, visit the various street vendors. These are where office workers and local Thai people will always come to eat. Cheap and delicious, you get a huge variety of food and flavour. It’s straight up, not pretentious and really reasonable for an average of 25 baht per dish.
All over the country. Check the main streets and markets.
Asian food is a complete sensory overload. Not only are you surrounded by the some of the most beautiful places in the world (just fly to Thailand for starters) but the food mimics the location. Asian food is often presented like its picturesque surroundings; colourful, fragrant and incredibly elegant. Expect plates adorned with flowers, leaves, delightfully different fish and ingredients of the freshest kind. Top of the Asian food race is Thailand for its sheer combination of colour, fragrance and diversity. One myth to dispel from the word go is that Thai food is lemon grass served in a multitude of different ways. Au contraire. For the freshest flavours around, head to Southeast Asia. A great place to start is Bangkok, Thailand’s bustling capital. You have to take Thailand’s capital by storm, so go with a city crashing attitude. With so many places to eat in this dynamic city, it’s a good idea to have a heads up for the best places in town.
