Our Favorite Places To Eat Thai Food In Bangkok

 

Thailand´s capital Bangkok is obviously one of the world’s best place to eat Thai food. There are so many restaurants and street vendors selling Thai food that it can sometimes be difficult to spot the outstanding ones. Also, some restaurants cater to tourists, and the food may not be top quality since visitors are usually easier to satisfy than the locals.

We want places that serve authentic and delicious Thai food, where the Thais themselves love to eat.

We have been in Bangkok several times, often staying for long periods of a few months at a time, and have tried many Thai restaurants both indoors and on the streets. We are often asked, “Where do they serve the best Thai food in Bangkok?”

While that is an impossible question to answer, here, we will give you our favorite places to eat authentic Thai food. These are places that not many tourists visit, mostly Thais and ex-pats living in Bangkok.

Our 10 Favorite Places To Eat Thai Food In Bangkok

This Bangkok restaurant guide reveals what we think are the best places to eat Thai food in Bangkok with each restaurant’s signature dish. We hope you find this food guide helpful in finding where to eat in Bangkok. Enjoy your time in Bangkok! ♥

his Bangkok Thai food restaurant guide gives you a list of the 10 best Bangkok restaurants. Here are our favorite Bangkok restaurants and street food stalls to eat authentic Thai food:

1. The Sixth – 6th

The Sixth is a cool and hip little place with excellent authentic Thai food! With only five tables, run and owned by a young couple, the place has a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.

Address: 6 Soi Tha Tien, Maharaj Road. Khet Phra Nakhon area, near Wat Pho (reclining Buddha)

How to get there: Take the sky train to Saphan Taksin BTS Station, and take the river ferry to pier no. 8 Tha Thien, and walk from there (only a few minutes walk). Or take the metro (MRT) to Sam Yot MRT Station (a 15-min walk to the Sixth).

Opening hours: 10:30 am – 16:30/ 4:30 pm. Closed on Tuesdays.

2. Bangkok’s Delicious Street Food

All over Bangkok, you will find cheap and delicious Thai food on the street! Some places are pop-up food stalls that move around on trolleys, while others are more or less permanent, serving fresh and tasty Thai food at small tables on the street pavement.

Street food in Bangkok is tasty, quickly delivered, and super cheap. You can usually have a feast for under 150 Baht! Bangkok is the street food capital of the world, and there is plenty of fantastic options to sample the street food. Here are our favorite areas in Bangkok with delicious street food:

Sukhumvit Soi 38 Street

We used to love the food market along the street Sukhumvit Soi 38, but after serving delicious street food for decades, it has now sadly reduced the number of stalls due to a new huge building.

Sukhumvit Soi 38 is now more like an indoor food court but still serves excellent authentic Thai street food. It still is one of our favorite places to head for cheap, delicious, and fresh street food in Bangkok.

If you are in this area and find yourself craving Indian food, Bangkok’s Little India district (Pahurat) is also not far away.

Another great way to explore Bangkok’s street food is to take a food tour. By going on a food tour with an expert English-speaking guide, you will get to sample a lot of food you might otherwise have missed. It is also an excellent way to learn more about Bangkok’s culture and food.

Where is it: Yaowarat Street

How to get there: Taxi or MRT to Hua Lamphong station then walk 15 minutes.

Opening hours: All day, but best in the evenings

Saphan Taksin BTS Skytrain Station & The Bang Rak Area

This is an old part of Bangkok with many restaurants and food stalls that have been there for decades! These guys know some cooking secrets that would put the finest French chefs to shame. The stretch of road going from Saphan Taksin BTS station to the crossing of Charoen Krung Road and Silom Road is a foodie’s dream walk.

Here are our favorite street food vendors along the street from Saphan BTS station to the crossing of Charoen Krung Rd and Silom Rd:

Prachak – Bangkok`s Best Roasted Duck

There are simply too many food gems along this road to mention them all, but here lies Prachak Pet Jang, famous for its Chinese-style roasted duck with a dark, spicy sauce over rice. It is delicious! The skin is perfectly crispy, while the duck meat is super juicy. The rice is cooked perfectly, and the Chinese sausage is delicious slightly sweet. Mmmmmm!

Address: 1415, Charoen Krung Road, Silom, opposite Robinson’s department store

How to get there: Take the sky train to Saphan Taksin sky train station, and walk from there.

Opening hours: 07:30 am – 20:30/ 8:30 pm

Charoen Saeng Silom – Bangkok’s Best Braised Pork Knuckle

Charoen Saeng Silom has been serving their famous and delicious braised pork (Khao Kha Moo) in Bangkok since 1959, and they sure know how to cook the perfect braised pork knuckle! It is served with steamed rice and tasty, rich soy and vinegar-based sauce with many Chinese spices and herbs that go hand in hand with the tender and soft pork meat. The meat is so soft that it melts in the mouth.

In December 2017, they were even mentioned in the Michelin Guide for 2018!

This is not a fancy place. It is basic and about as authentic as you can get when it comes to a Bangkok street food restaurant. Everyone from school girls to posh business people in suits driving fancy cars eats here.

You can choose to sit outside at a table on the street or inside (no aircon). The place is super popular, but the queue is elegantly handled by the old cheerful guy that owns the place, so there is not much waiting. Due to its popularity, you might have to share a table with other people, but hey, that is a great opportunity to chat with some Thais and get some more local tips about places to eat and things to see.

Address: 492/6 Soi Charoen Krung 49

How to get there: Take the sky train to BTS Saphan Taksin Station, and walk from there (an 8 min walk).

Opening hours: 08:00 am – 13:00/ 1 pm

Boonsap Thai Dessert

After having a delicious crispy duck at Prachak, walk across the street for some mouth-watering Mango sticky rice dessert at Boonsap Thai Desserts. You can either sit there and have your dessert or have a takeaway. They also sell other lovely Thai desserts, cookies, and sweets.

Address: 1478 Soi Charoen Krung 46, Khwaeng Bang Rak.

How to get there: Take the sky train to BTS Saphan Taksin Station. Walk along Charoen Krung Street, from BTS Saphan Taksin Station to the crossing of Charoen Krung Road and Silom Road, and you will see it.

Opening hours: 07:00 am – 17:00/ 5 pm. Closed on Sundays.

Reviews of Boonsap on TripAdvisor

Some other great places to sample street food in Bangkok are around the Victory Monument and on Phetchaburi Soi 5, and many others. Bangkok’s street food is everywhere and is almost always tasty and freshly made, so step out of your hotel and explore!

3. Krua Apsorn – Bangkok´s Best Crab Omelet

The legendary Krua Apsorn serves delicious and authentic Thai dishes just as they are supposed to be. The owner used to work for the royal Thai family and has brought some of the recipes with her when opening her own restaurant.

You will find six Krua Apsorn restaurants in Bangkok, where two of them (Samsand and Dinsor) are in central Bangkok:

Samsand: 503 Thanon Samsen, Dusit, Dusit District, Bangkok

Dinsor: 169 Dinso Rd, Wat Bowon Niwet, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok (close to the Democracy Monument and Khao San Road)

We visited the Krua Apsorn in Dinsor, and all the photos below are from that restaurant.

Their menu is with pictures so it is easy to order what you want and some of the waitresses speak a little English. Not many tourists know about this place, so the staff is not used to talking to foreigners. Therefore the service might feel a bit slow. Krua Apsorn is also mentioned in the Michelin Guide for 2018.

Their signature and the most famous dish is the Kai Food Boo, an omelet with crab meat. And I totally get why as it is delicious and has the perfect combination of juicy, fluffy texture with lots of flavors. Very tasty!

4. Thip Samai – Bangkok’s Best Pad Thai

The small restaurant Thip Samai apparently has the best Pad Thai in Bangkok! Not bad considering that they sell Pad Thai EVERYWHERE in this city . So we had high expectations about this Pad Thai, and it did not disappoint!

So is it the best in Bangkok? Impossible to say, but we have eaten a lot of Pad Thais over the years, and this one is seriously delicious!
