2. Bangkok’s Delicious Street Food!
All over Bangkok, you will find cheap and delicious Thai food on the street! Some places are pop-up food stalls that move around on trolleys, while others are more or less permanent, serving fresh and tasty Thai food at small tables on the street pavement.
Street food in Bangkok is tasty, quickly delivered and super cheap. You can usually have a feast for under 150 Baht!
Enjoying some Bangkok street food
We used to love and recommend the food market at Sukhumvit Soi 38 but after serving delicious street food for decades, it has now sadly closed down. But fear not, Bangkok is the street food capital of the world, and there is plenty of fantastic options to sample the street food.

Yaowarat (Chinatown)
Lots of delicious street food in Chinatown
Bangkok’s Chinatown know locally as Yaowarat, is a great place to sample some street food, and is arguably Bangkok’s street food center. All along Yaowarat road, street stalls and small restaurants serve up some seriously tasty treats.
The mix of Thai and Chinese dishes on offer is staggering, and the smells are heavenly. A good strategy is usually just to try what looks and perhaps most importantly smells best to you.
Stewed pork legs and knuckles
Barbecued seafood is seriously popular here, as is flat noodles in pepper broth, dim sun and all sort of fruit desserts. Walking around you can find all kinds of Thai food, from Satay, pad Thai, barbecue spears with peanut butter, chicken in different variations, fried rice, noodles and different soups, crispy duck and curries of all kinds.
Make sure to sample small portions, and do not fill up all in one place. While you can find food here all day, it comes alive in the evening when people come out to eat.
Delicious juices and smoothies, all freshly made!
If you are in this area and find yourself with a craving for Indian food, Bangkok’s little India district (Pahurat) is also not far away.
- Address: Yaowarat Street
- How to get there: Taxi or MRT to Hua Lamphong station then walk 15 minutes.
- Opening hours: All day, but best in the evenings
Having Chicken Massaman Curry at a Bangkok street food restaurant. Very tasty!
Saphan Taksin and the Bang Rak Area
This is an old part of town with many restaurants and food stalls that have been there for decades! These guys know some cooking secrets that would put the finest French chefs to shame. The stretch of road going from Saphan Taksin BTS station to the crossing of Charoen Krung Road and Silom Road is a foodies dream walk.
