Bangkok is a vibrant city that offers numerous attractions for the visitor. One of them is the distinctive and delicious Thai food which is available in certain places in the city, as listed below.
The remarkable Bangrak Cafe is a hip and fashionable place to eat in Bangkok, rather modest in size but serving up amazing Thai food. The food here is always fresh and delectable, with highlights such as tasty chicken wings, shrimps covered in crisp bacon, red chicken curry and chicken cashews. You will also be able to enjoy great drinks and smoothies which complement the fine food on offer. You will sometimes have the opportunity to enjoy live music and even attractive art exhibitions at this cafe.
An outstanding gourmet restaurant in Bangkok, this well-reputed establishment offers exceptional food with outstanding taste and presentation in a classy setting. Every evening the master chef offers a set menu from which diners can select a starter, main dish and dessert, with which you will also receive two accompanying dishes. The combination of courses goes together well, providing a splendid dining experience every time. Although this restaurant is costly by local standards, the pricing is a bargain when compared with the cost of a similar meal in a Western country.
You will be able to enjoy cheap and tasty Thai street food in many parts of Bangkok, but the food market at Sukhumvit Soi 38 is undoubtedly a highlight. Here the food is inexpensive, tasty and delivered quickly. The vendors use fresh food ingredients and prepare the dishes on the spot. All kinds of local foods are on offer here, including such treats as satay, barbecued meats, fried rice, various chicken preparations, crispy duck, noodle dishes, soups and a host of curries. Consider staying at Citadines Vic3 Bangkok and visiting this site.
Somtum Der is a small laidback restaurant which focuses on the distinctive Isaan Thai cuisine native to northeast Thailand. This establishment features a pleasant al fresco area which is a delightful place to enjoy the delicious food and quality drinks on offer. The specialty at this restaurant is the papaya salad, or som tam, of which you will find no less than eight varieties on the menu. Ingredients such as papaya, tomato, limes, peanuts, chillies, eggs and pork are used in the various versions.
Kalpapruek which is located in the Central World mall offers a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere, cheap and tasty Thai foods, quality cakes, wonderful smoothies and cheerful service. It is a great place to replenish your energies after a busy shopping session. Highlights here include such dishes as red chicken curry and chicken with cashews, fruit smoothies and exquisite cakes. Kalpapruek is popular with local Thais as well as visitors to the country.
This small and cosy restaurant is greatly reputed for its Pad Thai dish, which is renowned as perhaps the best of its kind in the entirety of Bangkok. Many regular customers patronize this restaurant for its fresh well-prepared dishes. Thip Samai is also well-reputed for its fruit drinks, particularly its fresh and flavourful orange juice. A comfortable accommodation from which to conveniently access these appealing restaurants would be one of the three star hotels in Bangkok such as the Vic3 Bangkok. This attractive accommodation offers pleasant interiors and polite hospitality.
Bamee Sawang is the place to go for the best noodle soup in the city. The egg noodle preparation is done by hand in the restaurant itself, which uses traditional wood stoves rather than the usual gas stoves. Other fine dishes in this establishment include the delicious sweet barbecue pork and the delectable crab preparations. For authentic Thai cuisine this restaurant is undoubtedly one of the places to go.
