Food Walk (Self Guided), Bangkok

There aren't many cities out there, if any, beside the Thai capital to be just as voracious and passionate about eating! Food in Bangkok is a key aspect of daily life, attesting to which are the numerous eateries all over the city. And what's more, regardless of where you have it, be it a scrumptious street food stall or a fancy restaurant, the local food never fails to impress.

Bangkok is, undoubtedly, a major foodie destination and a culinary mecca. From wizened street vendors who perform alchemy with sizzling woks to whiz-kid chefs who shape the art of fine dining, the city lays claim to one of the world’s most multifaceted food scenes.

Although Thai cuisine is now international, whenever tourists plan the best things to do in Thailand, they're usually at a loss where to find the best food in Bangkok. Indeed, amid so many places to eat, singling out the best can be a bit tricky. To help you out with the choice, here are some of the locations worth checking out to tickle your taste buds:

Lumphini Park Food Stalls – an outdoor mom-and-pop food court and grocer rolled into one, with dozens of independent vendors offering precooked and made-to-order Thai food, various sweet treats and raw menu;

Convent Road – a busy lane that turns into an outdoor food aisle most weekday afternoons, particularly around lunch time, with a barrage of stalls offering simple meals and snacks; the options here are plentiful all day long;

Thanon Pan and Silom Road Intersection – the row of street vendors offering snacks for a fraction of the price normally paid at a restaurant for appetizers or in supermarket produce departments, but tasting just as good, if not better.
