Things to do in Bangkok: Food
Welcome to yourtravelsk’s Bangkok food guide, where we will delve upon different food options that we as a traveler have in Bangkok.
Bangkok by far is one of the topmost food destinations. It has restaurants offering high quality ethnic Thai food and International cuisines. Street vendors offering delicious and pocket-friendly food. Choices for Desserts that are going to make you come back again and a lot more
Thai

Different regions in Thailand have their characteristic cuisine. Roughly divided into central, northern, northeastern and southern cuisine. But we don’t have to travel to each of these regions to get a taste of these cuisines. Due to the cosmopolitan nature of Bangkok, today it is possible to enjoy each of these cuisines in Bangkok.
“Som Tam Jay So” is a
“Prai Raya” and “Khua Kling Pak Sod” are good for southern cuisine. Thai Southern cuisines use fresh curry pastes giving it a punchy flavor and balance of spice. A few foods to try are moo hong (sweet braised pork), Nam
Street food

Khao San Road is the place to be to get the best of street food in Bangkok. If you are on a budget, street stalls in abundance are going to bring a smile to your face. The food not only is cheap (you can get most Thai dishes at around 30 baht) but extremely delicious. Also if you are staying on Khao San Road you are in luck as there are plenty of budget restaurants there
Satay with hot sauce is sold by almost all the street vendors and is very delicious. The famous pad Thai is also sold by almost all the street vendors on Khao San Road. However, the pad Thai on street stalls is not authentic as it is changed to taste buds of foreigners. If you are in for authentic pad Thai try any of the many restaurants on Khao San
A couple of other dishes to try at the street stalls are tom yam
A few of the street stalls offer Roti sai
Dinner Cruises

When I was planning my first trip to Bangkok, Dinner cruises were the first thing that caught my attention. Imagine yourself chowing down on seafood and watching Thai cultural dancers all along the floodlit sky and temples along the Chao Phraya River. No doubt Dinner cruises are a hit among tourists and there are many operators running them
International cuisine

You can find a wide selection of international cuisines in Bangkok. However, expect to pay a bit higher for these as compared to the authentic Thai dishes. Do remember you can end up paying much more if you go on exploring these cuisines in your hotel
Head over to Soi Ton Son near Siam Square to try Bangkok’s best Italian food. Gianni offers the best authentic Italian food in Thailand
Yaowarat is great for Chinese food. It has many street shops selling delicious Chinese food at reasonable prices. Jek Pui Curry is a great option there
Vegetarian

Most restaurants in Bangkok have a vegetarian option on their menu. If you don’t find any or have difficulty understanding the menu. Ask for “jay” food. Jay means vegetarian food with no animal products. Trying one of the Indian restaurants in Phahurat is also a great option for vegetarians as all of the Indian restaurants serve vegetarian food as most Indians are vegetarians
Desserts

Thailand is hot and If you have been on a shopping spree in Chatuchak you will understand it better than anyone. Try one of the coconut icecreams that most of the street vendors sell in Chatuchak. It is one of the unique specialties of Thailand and very delicious
Khanom Thai Baan Khanom Suay sells the best quality, Tong Yip. A sweet made from Egg yolk. Of course, the sweet doesn’t smell like egg yolk and is very sweet and tasty
Khanom Whan Mae Kwa is the best store to buy Khanom Chan or Thai jelly. Made from sugar and coconut, this sweet is one of my favorites after the coconut ice cream
Thanks for reading this far. Bangkok is a great city not only for temples and shopping. It offers many different and delicious cuisines. Trying all of these options might not be possible for each one of us visiting Bangkok. However, I suggest you try as many as you can as they are all great options
