Bangkok is easily one of the most bustling cities in Asia, with a loud and chaotic mix of food, culture, nightlife, and luxury. The food is especially exciting, with a huge diversity of street food, Michelin-rated dining, and markets. Here is a quick list of some of my favorite places I’ve eaten over 3 trips to Bangkok.

Best Area to Stay for Food
I would highly recommend staying near a BTS train station so you can avoid Bangkok’s notoriously bad traffic. We decided to stay at The Salil on Sukhumvit so we could be near countless famous eateries and hidden gems while having the convenience of being less than a 5 minute walk to the train (and to the mango sticky rice stand pictured above!). You’ll find that many of the places in this list are in the central Phrom Phong/Thong Lo/Ekkamai areas of Bangkok, as these areas are all just 1 train stop from each other on the BTS.
