Bangkok is one of the world's best place to eat tasty Thai cuisine. Here is our pick about the best restaurants in Bangkok to try authentic culinary.
The Sixth
[caption id="attachment_12901" align="aligncenter" width="600"]
(the sixth bangkok-source from @mysunflower)[/caption]

2. Bangkok’s Delicious Street Food
[caption id="attachment_12902" align="aligncenter" width="600"]
(street food bangkok-source from @hackisoutthere)[/caption]
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 streets in Bangkok to head to when we get hungry:
Sukhumvit Soi 38 Street
Even though it has now sadly reduced the number of stalls due to construction work of a new huge building, we still love with all the food stalls there. Sukhumvit Soi 38 is now more like an indoor food court, but still serves delicious street food.
- Address: Sukhumvit Soi 38 street
- How to get there: Taxi or BTS Skytrain to Thong Lo station and you are right by the street food area.
- Opening hours: Afternoon around 17:00 until late
This is a local food area. The Thai food is tasty and freshly made. The food is value for money. A must experience for tourists."said by a visitor on Trip Advisor.
Yaowarat Street (Chinatown)
Bangkok’s Chinatown known locally as Yaowarat is a great place to sample some street food and is arguably Bangkok’s street food center. All along Yaowarat road, street stalls and small restaurants serve up some seriously tasty treats.
The mix of Thai and Chinese dishes on offer is staggering, and the smells are heavenly. A good strategy is usually just to try what looks and perhaps most importantly smells best to you.
Barbecued seafood is an all-time favorite as is flat noodles in pepper broth, dim sum and all sort of fruit desserts. Walking around you can find all kinds of Thai food, from Satay, pad Thai, barbecue spears with peanut butter, chicken in different variations, fried rice, noodles, and different soups, crispy duck and curries of all kinds.
- Address: 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
I love this place - with the multiple street foods and drinks available. There is something for you to try and somethings are certainly different."said by a visitor on Trip Advisor
Saphan Taksin BTS Skytrain Station & The Bang Rak Area
This is an old part of Bangkok with many restaurants and food stalls lasted for decades. Lots of amazing street food and authentic Thai food restaurants along Charoen Krung Road and Silom Road. There has Bangkok's best roasted duck in Prachak. The rice is cooked perfectly and the Chinese sausage is delicious slightly sweet.

- How to get there: Take the sky train to Saphan Taksin sky train station, and walk from there.
- Opening hours: 08:00 – 20:30
We went to this "hole in the wall" restaurant as part of A Taste of Thailand Food tour. So worth it. We only had duck with noodles but it was the highlight of a tour that took us at least 5 different places in the Bangkok area of Bangkok. You can't miss it...there are plenty of ducks hanging in the window and lots of workers scurrying around!"said by a visitor on Trip Advisor.
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 a tasty rich soy and vinegar based sauce with a lot of Chinese spices and herbs in it that goes like hand in hand with the tender and soft pork meat. The meat is ultra fresh and melt-in-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 street food restaurant in Bangkok. Everyone from school girls to posh businessmen in suits driving fancy cars eats here.
- Address: 492/6 Soi Charoen Krung 49
- How to get there: Take the sky train to Saphan Taksin sky train station, and walk from there.
- Opening hours: 07:30 – 13:30
This is definately the best Khao Kha Moo joint in Bangkok. Super soft succulent braised pork leg with sophisticated blend of spices. Doesn’t have porky smell and not five spice-ish like many other places."said by a visitor on Trip Advisor
Boonsap Thai Dessert
You can walk across the street for some mouth-watering Mango sticky rice dessert at Boonsap Thai Desserts. They also sell other lovely Thai desserts, cookies, and sweets.

[caption id="attachment_12903" align="aligncenter" width="600"]
(Krua Apsorn – Bangkok´s Best Crab Omelet-source from @topaniruth)[/caption]
The legendary Krua Apsorn is one of the best restaurants in Bangkok, mentioned in the Michelin Guide for 2018. It 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 to her restaurant. 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!
- Address: Krua Apsorn has two restaurants in Bangkok, we visited the one at 169 Dinso Rd (close to the Democracy Monument and Khao San Road). The original branch of Krua Apsorn is located in Bangkok’s Dusit district at 503 Samsen Road (near Samsen Soi 9).
- Opening hours: 10:30 – 20:00. Closed on Sundays
Get the crab dishes, they’re amazing, so generous with the crab I couldn’t believe it.
Must have dishes: - fluffy omelette, and crab with curry. Don’t forget to hunt out the greens - the stir fried cowslip flowers, the stir fried chayote - 2 dishes I’ve never had and now long for every time I think of them!
Easily a ome of the very best Thai food I’ve ever eaten."said by a visitor on Trip Advisor.
4. Thip Samai – Bangkok’s Best Pad Thai
[caption id="attachment_12904" align="aligncenter" width="600"]
(Thip Samai Bangkok-source from @hungryhugh)[/caption]
The small restaurant Thip Samai apparently has the best Pad Thai in Bangkok! As usual, one “Superb Pad Thai with small prawns wrapped with egg” costs 90 Baht(= US$ 2,70) and one “Pad Thai Song-Kreung with fresh deep-sea prawns, crabmeat, sliced squid, and sliced mango with noodle” costs 300 Baht(= US$ 9).
Thip Samai also has the most amazing orange juice I have ever tasted! It was so fresh and full of flavor! So if you go here, make sure to order the orange juice and not just another Singha (which you can buy everywhere in Thailand).
- Address: 313 Th Maha Chai, Banglamphu
- How to get there: It is easiest to take a taxi or tuk-tuk here, or use the app GRAB.
- Opening hours: 17:00 – midnight
I have been a great fan of Thai food especially Pad Thai and the Pad Thai that they serve in this restaurant is truly incredible! You will have to wait around an hour by standing in a long queue just to get a table, but the wait is really worth it. You will be surprised by the taste of the food that they serve here!"said by a visitor on Trip Advisor.
5. Raan Jay Fai – Michelin Star Street Food
[caption id="attachment_12905" align="aligncenter" width="600"]
(Raan Jay Fai-source from @menatthkt)[/caption]
The restaurant is owned and run by the 72-year-old woman Jay Fai, and she actually makes all the dishes herself wearing her signature black goggles and a black beanie. The restaurant serves crab omelets for many many years, as it was established by Jay Fais father seventy years ago. They mainly make seafood dishes and their specialties and must-tries are crab omelets, crab curries, and dry congee, all wok over a coal fire.
To be honest, the crab omelet is not the cheapest in Bangkok, however, and cost 1000 Baht = US$30. But for the amount of crab meat that you get in the omelet, it is not that expensive in my opinion as crab meat is in general expensive. Other famous dishes are their Tom Yum Goong soup (typical Thai seafood soup), and Drunken Noodles.
- Address: 327 Mahachai Road (at the intersection with Samranrat Road), next to Thip Samai restaurant
- How to get there: It is easiest to take a taxi or tuk-tuk here, or use the app GRAB.
- Opening hours: 14:30 – midnight Tuesday to Saturday. Closed on Mondays and Sundays.
Extremely delicious food cooked by the owner herself. I made the reservation 2.5 months ahead. We arrived on time and we were seated on time. We waited for our food to be served after an hour. But oh it was worth it!!!! Really delicious. They do not have airconditioners. Please dress in light clothing. Price is quite high but who cares it was worth it."said by a visitor on Trip Advisor.

- Bring a photocopy of passport
- Dress up: short pants, shirts without sleeves and bare feet are not allowed in the scared pagodas and temples.
