Pe Aor
Tom Yum Kung Noodle
Flavorful Tom Yum Soup with Noodles
The Tom Yum here is top-notch, probably the best in Thailand. The balance of flavors was perfect, with just the right amount of heat. The noodles were cooked perfectly and still had a nice texture. Despite it being busy, we were seated quickly and enjoyed every bite of our meal.

Guay Jub Mr. Joe
Crispy Pork
Crispy Pork Delight at Guay Jub Mr. Joe
It's been my favourite Mookrub crispy pork place since going there 6 years ago. The pork meat is lean and soft but the skin is very crispy perfectly done.

Ruam Sab Market
Affordable Local Delights at Ruam Sab Market
This medium-sized weekday market offers a great selection of food with two large dining areas, making it a favorite despite the heat. Prices are very reasonable compared to other markets, and while some shops stay open until 5 pm, it's best to visit in the morning or around lunchtime for the freshest options.

Charoen Saeng Silom
Pork Knuckle
Hidden Gem for Pork Lovers
I stumbled upon this hidden gem in an alley and was pleasantly surprised by the quick service and good food. The rice was a bit overcooked, but mixing it with the soup made it better. The prices are very affordable here.

Do I have to eat on the street?

No! Not all the Bangkok street food comes from a humble cart on the side of the road. Some do, some are a collection of stalls in a local market or a traditional shophouse that has tables. If you're worried about cleanliness, stick with busy places as the ingredients will be fresh. You will miss an essential part of Thai culture if you don't try! Speaking of Thai culture: Don't miss our Famous Food Court List!

How do we collect those places?

We check blogs and other websites with top lists and gather them together. Some of them we test by ourselves and some are hints from visitors. We check several platforms for the ratings - you will find them at the end of the location address. If you know an awesome place, just give me a mail at: hello@gurullist.net Read more about our mission.

Gaeng Pa Sriyan
Thai Jungle Curry
Authentic Thai Delights with a Spicy Twist
I visited this restaurant with my English boyfriend, and we were both fascinated by the unique menu. We tried the wild boar jungle curry, which wasn't to our taste, but the eggplant salad with minced pork was a hit for me. The snake head curry was flavorful, though a bit too mushy for my liking. Their authentic Thai flavors are spot on, and the durian and coconut ice cream with sticky rice was a delightful finish.

Mit Ko Yuan

Thai and Chinese food
Mit Ko Yuan is a hidden gem serving up authentic Thai-Chinese home-styled dishes. The food is delicious and reminds me of homecooked meals. The prices are very reasonable, and the service is fast. Whether you choose the non air-conditioned or air-conditioned section, you're in for a treat. I highly recommend this place for a taste of traditional cuisine.

Doy Kuay Teow Reua
Boat Noodles
Authentic and Affordable Boat Noodles
Visited this boat noodle spot for the second time, and it’s just as amazing as I remembered. It's located in a small alley, so you might need to walk a bit if your driver can't drop you off right at the entrance, but it's totally worth it. The noodles are delicious, and the whole experience makes it a must-visit when in Bangkok. Easy 10/10 recommend!
