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.

    Dom's best places list

    I live in central Bangkok and love finding new, cozy restaurants. I'm especially keen on places with outdoor seating by the river, rather than upscale dining.
