Bangkok It's a city that can be a bit overwhelming when you start looking at information about it since it's so huge. Therefore, in this article we want to help you with our recommendations of the best places to visit best restaurants y street stalls that we tried on our trip. We also leave you the location to know where each one is and if there is any monument or nearby point of interest.
Please note that although things have been modernized a lot and some accept cards, many stalls or restaurants only cash accepted or you they charge extra if you want to pay by card, so we recommend that you always carry some cash.
Keep reading so you don't miss any of the best restaurants in Bangkok: We recommend you both street stalls in markets such as restaurants in local The first ones are usually more cheap But you won't always find them very clean (the ones we recommended on our list seemed to be fairly clean to us). Important: Don't eat anything raw or salads.
1. Sae Phun
The first restaurant we tried in Thailand was Sae Phun We'd seen it recommended in the Michelin Guide, so we thought it would be a good first taste of Thai cuisine. It's relatively close to the temple district where the Grand Palace is located, so after a morning of sightseeing, we headed there to recharge our batteries.
Their signature dish is a kind of chicken stew accompanied with rice and a fried egg, very rich but with a milder flavor than we expected. We also tried some egg noodles with meat which we also really liked. One thing to keep in mind is that they don't sell beer, but the staff who are super friendly tell you that you can go buy it at a 7-11 that is right next door.
As for the price, despite being included in the Michelin guide, it's not expensive at all. We paid 250 baths per person. The portions aren't very large, but they're within Thai standards (at least we thought, as portions in Thailand generally aren't very large).
2. K. Panich Sticky Rice
This place, also famous for appearing in the Michelin guide, is very close to the restaurant we told you about before, Sae Phun. So after eating, we decided to go for dessert, mango sticky rice, one of the dishes we like most from Thailand.
When we went there was no one waiting so we ordered our mango sticky rice to go and we really loved it (it was the first of many we tried). With a price of 125 baths It's not one of the cheapest, but it is one of the tastiest. If you happen to be passing by, don't hesitate to try it.
3. Mr. Ang Bamee Shrimp Dumpling
This is one of the thousands of stalls at the Chinatown night market in Bangkok. We liked the look of the stall as it seemed quite clean (unlike others) and the food looked good so we recommend it because we ate like a king.
Their main dish is a egg noodle soup with beef pork, dumplings and indefinite dumplings (we assume meat too). It's spectacular and you can also order it without broth. Plus, you sit in the mini plastic chairs typical of Thai markets and you get the full experience.
The price is super cheap, 50 baths You have a delicious bowl of soup. Prices in Chinatown are generally super cheap, so we recommend getting lost and finding the stall you like best.
4. Kuai Chap Uan Photchana
This stand is also located in Chinatown, so since there were so many options, we decided to try a bit of each. The place is famous for its crispy pork, and they have several dishes that you can try. We tried it as is crispy pork torreznos and it was very tasty.
Here there was a little tail But it moves super fast. They have a lot of Michelin Guide signs and that attracts people. It was hard for us 100 baths a large plate and they sat us at a table with a Thai couple, it's an experience you have to live.
5. Khun Chang
We move on to the area of Silom, where our accommodation was located. We went to this restaurant by chance and really liked the food. Of course, if they ask you if you want spicy food, don't be like a tourist like us and say no. We said a little, and we had trouble finishing some dishes because they were so spicy.
We tried one green curry soup which was spectacular (and very very spicy), a rice with things very tasty, some noodles with chicken and a Pad Krapao which we loved. This last dish is made up of meat with Thai basil, chilies and soy accompanied by rice and a fried egg, and we liked it so much that we tried it in the other cities we visited. One of our favorites in Thailand.
We've left the restaurant's location below, as we're not entirely sure of the name we gave it above, as everything was in Thai. It couldn't be more authentic. Prices are in line with the rest, although obviously more expensive than eating at street stalls 250 baht per person you eat like a king.
6. Thipsamai
Super famous place for its Pad Thai wrapped in omelet. When we went it was closed so we couldn't try it but it is one of the most recommended restaurants in Bangkok. It usually has quite a queue So we don't know if it'll be worth the wait (although we certainly wouldn't waste two hours). It's best to go after hours to enjoy pad thai without the lines.
As for price, it is a little more expensive than the rest due to its popularity among tourists, its pad thai They range from the 90 to 500 baths (this last price is a bit exaggerated for us).
7. Pad Thai Fai Ta Lu
This restaurant is also famous for its Pad Thai, which serve on a banana leaf. They have several options, the most famous being pork and shrimp.
It is located very close near Khaosan Road So it might be a good combination if you're heading out to see this street. In this case, we weren't able to try it either because we didn't have enough time to do more in Bangkok, but we've made a note of it for when we return.
It has been recommended in the Michelin guide for several years and being quite popular with tourists It also has higher prices, costing 250 baths Pork pad thai. The portions aren't very large, as we mentioned earlier.
8. By. Pochaya
This recommendation is a little different since it is a restaurant with Chinese-Thai food. Also located in the Kaosan Road area, its star dishes are the Pad Krapao (our fav), a kind of crab omelet served with sauce or soup Tom Yum Goong. It is advisable to make a reservation as it is usually quite full (it has been listed in the Michelin Guide for several years).
The place is typical Thai with steel tables and plastic chairs, clean although a little warm. The food is very good 200 baths.
