Food Streets ---
![]() There are thousands of places to dine and wine in Bangkok, Thailand, from traditional Thai food to international cuisine and from cheep food stalls to expensive restaurants. The most popular areas are: :: Yaowarat :: Bangkok's Chinatown houses some of the best and most expensive Chinese restaurants in the city, along with many of the best and cheapest food stalls, especially at night. Large restaurants line the bustling Yaowarat Road, but venturing into sois, or lanes, will lead you to less impressive yet equally enjoyable establishments. The restaurants mostly specialize in southern Chinese cooking, with noodles, seafood and, at lunchtime, dim sum dumplings dominating the menus. :: Phahurat :: Taking a short walk from Yaowarat's Chinatown to Phahurat's little India is like taking a transcendental journey between two different worlds. Inhabited by Thai people of Indian origin, the confined alleyways around the Phahurat area accommodate a number of authentic Indian restaurants, particularly those offering North Indian cuisine. Alternatively, other sub continental foods such as Punjabi and Pakistani are also plentifully available. :: Siam Square :: This shopping area is crammed with medium to high-priced eateries as well as American fast-food outlets. Whether you crave Thai, European, Chinese or Japanese foods, there is a place for you somewhere in this fashionable area. Traditional Thai restaurants are flanked by gaudy fast-food franchises and Japanese suki parlors. Soi 1 has conventional Chinese restaurants.
:: Sukhumvit Road :: There is no shortage of eating places on Sukhumvit. Some people say
that from any spot along the road you are within 100 meters of at least one
restaurant. And the food could not be more cosmopolitan.
Silom Road:
Several food streets are linked to this road in Bangkok's busiest area.
Seafood stalls sprout along the section near Saladaeng Intersection after
sunset until late at night. The nearby Convent Road offers everything from
Indonesian to an Irish tavern. Opposite, a crush of Japanese restaurants
makes Soi Thaniya into a lively walkway for Japanese visitors and sushi
lovers of all nationalities. :: Bang Lamphu :: Shoestring travelers flock to
Bang Lamphu, especially the area around Khaosan Road. Most eating places in
this area cater for budget-conscious diners. Many
guesthouses on Khaosan
Road have open-air cafes serving standard Thai and Chinese dishes. Other
decent possibilities include Indian, Jewish, and Muslim restaurants. |
