Eating in Thailand from favourite Thai foods to new eating experiences and exciting restaurants. Travel and food tourism in Thailand.
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 […]

Thai curries are often the best starting point for food exploration in Thailand. Fortunately they are also the easier to find of dishes found from North to South and from fancy restaurant menus to shop-house and local eateries. All popular Thai curries blend their own take on the salty, sour, sweet and hot signatures of

In honesty I am not a big soup fan and if I had the choice between juicy steaks or barbecued meats I’d likely never eat soup again. Fanfan on the other hand is obsessed with soups in particular the Thai Hot Pot (Jim Jum). It is easily in her favourite of mall foods often beating

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

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
