If you are a lover of food and are planning on visiting Bangkok anytime soon, here are a few must-try Bangkok street foods during your vacation.
Almost every street food stall you find in Thailand will carry this dish. This is one of the most popular starter dishes in the country and is an absolutely perfect thing that will balance the spiciness, sourness, sweetness and more. As the name suggests, the main ingredient in this dish is the green papaya. Unripe papaya is shredded and mixed with lime juice, sugar, chilli peppers, a few vegetables and shrimp. This is definitely worth a try even if you are seated at one of the Sathorn restaurants located in hotels like the Chatrium Residence Sathon Bangkok you can ask the chef to whip this up for you.
Also known as stir-fry noodles in many parts of the world, this is one of the most popular Thai dishes that you can find all over the world. Pad Thai is the country's national dish and there is the absolute reason for it to be named as such. This dish is made with stir-fried noodles that are tossed with meat, vegetables and a few sauces. When exploring the street food stalls in Bangkok, you will find that this is one of the cheapest and most filling dishes for you to consume.
Basically grilled meat on skewers, this is something you will see people eating while they walk around the streets of Bangkok. Each vendor will have their own style of the marinade, but almost all of them will be succulent and yummy. While shopping and walking around Bangkok, this could be a starter you can consume to get your energy levels back up and continue exploring the city.
This is yet another dish you must definitely try, especially on the colder days and the rainy days in Bangkok. This is one of the easiest street food items to buy and is a combination of noodles and soup. There are many varieties of the soup ranging from hot to cold and spicy to even sour. You can also request the kind of noodle soup you want and customise it according to your taste buds at some of the food stalls found in the streets of Bangkok.
This is another version of Pad Thai and is a dish made with flat rice noodles that are heavily soaked in spicy sauces. The dish will give you a bold and strong flavour and is usually mixed with vegetables like broccoli and Chinese cabbage along with a meat of your choice. This dish is also known to be spicier than most other street food items. And they also sometimes add vinegar, so if you are allergic to vinegar do inform them beforehand, so they can avoid the addition. These noodles are loved by both the locals and visitors in Bangkok.
