The city of Bangkok always offers an interesting experience for the visitor. One of its attractions is its delectable and affordable street food. The localities described below offer excellent street food in the city.
The Victory Monument area will be a great locality to commence your tour of Bangkok's street food highlights. This area features a host of street food vendors as it is one of the city's busy hubs for the purposes of transportation. Bordering the roundabout as well as on nearby lanes you will find a splendid selection of restaurants and stalls offering street food and snacks. Not to be missed is the well-known alley that is renowned for its restaurants serving boat noodles.
Ratchawat and Sriyan are two traditional markets in Bangkok that are also renowned for their outstanding street food offerings. If you visit Ratchawat Market you will have the opportunity to enjoy foods such as Kobe beef noodles, roast duck and many other specialities. On the other hand, if you continue to Sriyan Market you will find an equally good selection of culinary offerings with curry restaurants, noodle restaurants and street snack stalls available in plenty.
Your tour of Bangkok's street food hubs would not be complete without venturing to Petchaburi Soi 5. This well-known lane becomes particularly animated in the evening, at which time an array of restaurants and street food vendors compete to attract the attention of people returning from work. Despite the fact that most of these foods are provided for takeaway, you will still find places where you can enjoy a seated meal. On this street, you will find a host of salad vendors, noodle sellers and fruit stalls in addition to plenty of other snacks. An accommodation choice to consider from which this street would be within easy reach would be Adelphi Forty-Nine which may be considered to be one of the pleasingly located serviced apartments Bangkok has to offer.
If you choose to stroll down Charoen Krung Road you are sure to end up with a pleasantly filled stomach since the sight and delectable aromas of the various foods being prepared are likely to be impossible to resist. Your nostrils will be tantalized by the smells of fresh noodles, fried garlic, roast duck, steamed dumplings and sliced ripe fruit which fill the air in this part of the city. On the other hand, if you desire boat noodles or even vegetarian food you will not be disappointed at this locality. On this street, the creation of delicious street food is a passion and a delight for the food lover.
The renowned Bang Khun Non is considered to be a neighbourhood where the restaurateurs and food vendors take pride in serving up some of the finest street food dishes in the city of Bangkok. Additionally, you will find that Bang Khun Non is a comparatively laidback locality where you do not have to worry about being struck by frenetic traffic and racing motorcycles whilst enjoying your food. Foods that you will have the opportunity to enjoy here include Thai noodle soup, roast duck and pork leg with rice.
