Bangkok: Must Eat

Jesus. Where to begin. It hurts my brain to even think about the hundreds of incredible food places in Bangkok. But alas, here we go:

Street eats:

  • Watthana Panich for beef soup that’s been cooking for decades (yep)

  • ICONSiam, which I know, is a mall, but the bottom level street food hawker center is fire and air conditioned, so fight me.

  • Nah Ek Roll Noodle for fire crispy pork with rice

  • Ann Guay Tiew Kia Gai for more fire noodles and rice

  • Prachak Roasted Duck for the best ducking duck in the city

Trendy eats: 

  • Babyccino for amazing variety of brunch options

  • Toby’s for trendy, LA style brunch

  • Featherstone for a vintage aesthetic

  • The Gardens for fancy food in, well, beautiful gardens

  • Err Rustic Thai for trendy Thai food

  • Vaso Tapas Bar for a party with some incredible Spanish food

  • Missing Burro for a lower key but fire Mexican restaurant

  • Tuba for fun vibes and crazy interior decor

Group Outings:

  • Aesop’s for a CRAZY party with some incredible Greek food

  • El Mercado for birthdays and European flavors

  • Zia Pasta for the best pasta with Gina (impartial to this place because it was on the street my housemates and I lived on)

  • And, of course, the Commons (both Thonglor and Saladaeng), with its trendy options and vibrant energy.

Expensive (but worth it) eats:

  • Jay Faai for world renowned Michelin starred street food (reserve WAY in advance)

  • Sirocco for insane views and to be in the scene of the Hangover

  • Rongros for modern twists on Thai food with River and Was Arun views

  • Nah Oh Bangkok for insanely entertaining and tastey food - inside a plane
