Restaurants, Eating and Street Food in Bangkok. Guide to the best restaurants in Bangkok and the Sukhumvit area. Thai food and unique eating experiences (Thailand).
Today I was at a loose end. Fanfan working through the previous night meant I was left tiptoeing round the condo and as always I end up at the pool to ‘work’. A couple of work beers down and I find myself relaxing on the pool edge overlooking local life on the street below. The …
Seven elevens are pretty much essential these days in Thailand, often used for paying bills or online purchases, flights and busses even, but for most adventurous visitors to Thailand it is indulging in traditional ham and cheese toasties. Because the “ham and cheese” has long been a staple for many to Thailand, as they really …
In the early evenings, Bangkok roadside barbecues pop up across busy streets. Locals congregate at seated street areas while barbecue vendors work their grills. This is easily my favourite part of the day. In early evenings, the sun just set and the streets are filling with local banter. Smokes of grilled meat and charcoal fill …
There’s only one reason for me to visit Chinatown. The same reason as most people. I go to stuff my face with delicious Chinese food. I do this often at my local Bangkok Chinatown; an area centred around Yaowarat Road and the sprawling maze of backstreets surrounding it. But the Chinatown in Bangkok isn’t so …
A reputation I suspect I have earned on my local Bangkok street food street where for two years now I have eaten on the same hidden back street of Bangkok, picking and unpicking favourites, and eating around. While I try to be loyal to my street food vendors, I also like to try new things, …

Fast food is different in every country with international outlets offering their own unique regional twists. The …
Back in 2004 I actually lived in this area held up in a run-down apartment block on Sukhumvit 36. My accommodation at the time was so depressing we nicknamed it “The Jail” and each night I’d return to my studio room with the theme song of ‘Prisoner Cell Block H’ in my head. But what …
I was completely new to the whole Korean craze in Asia (or any Korean culture tbh) before my introduction to Korea Town in Bangkok. Even then, I kind of thought of it as a subculture of sorts, rather than this global phenomenon centred around a love for Korean Music (K-Pop), Korean soap operas, and Korean …
The reason I cannot leave Bangkok is because of food and while this is true it doesn’t necessarily mean Thai food. What really keeps me here is the availability, diversity and affordability of all food and one of my favourite examples would be the Japanese (Yakiniku) and Korean barbecues; whereas in Bangkok they are a whole …
Modern Bangkok has been overrun by an infectious kimchi culture. An obsession with everything Korean. With an interest in anything unfamiliar, I was also seduced by this cutesy pop culture with its three potent ingredients of k-pop music, TV dramas/soap operas and delicious food. All three are often found at your nearest Bangkok Korean Barbecues, …
