Pe Aor
Tom Yum Kung Noodle
Flavorful Tom Yum Soup with Noodles
I absolutely loved the Tasty Tom Yum soup with noodles! The sourness was just right, not too spicy, and the prawns were fresh. I recommend getting two portions of noodles for a more satisfying meal, and don't forget to pair it with a Thai milk tea for the perfect combination.

Guay Jub Mr. Joe
Crispy Pork
Crispy Pork Delight at Guay Jub Mr. Joe
I absolutely loved the crispy pork at this restaurant! It was perfectly cooked and incredibly crispy, definitely a must-try dish. The soup was also delicious, with a peppery and herbally flavor that hit the spot. I would definitely come back for more of that crispy pork.

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.

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.

Kor Panich
Sweet Sticky Rice
Delicious Mango Sticky Rice
I absolutely loved the mango sticky rice at this place! The rice was rich and salty, complemented perfectly by the sweet mango. Despite finding it a bit too sweet for my taste, my companions couldn't get enough of it. The portion size was decent for the price, and the flavors were unmatched by other options in the city.

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!
