Roadside Stalls

If you notice, I do not have many recommendations for restaurants. The reason behind is because I have a firm belief that the best food is always found in the heartland, along the streets and among the crowd. In Bangkok, I am seldom proven wrong.

I can go on and on about the roadside food in Bangkok, like wanton mee, beef noodles, pork intestine soup, pad Thai, oyster omelette, fish maw soup, pig trotters and many many more. Remember to add the seasoning usually available on the tables. The chili powder is a must if you are eating soup items. The chili powder in Thailand really goes well with any soup and sometimes even dry dishes. Amazing

The wonderful thing is all these street food is that they are usually sold at a very cheap price like 20-40 baht. You also do not pay tourist price as the stalls are usually patronised by the locals. Though the portion is usually smaller, but its actually a good thing for me as it allows me to have a variety of food instead of just being full on one dish.

All these roadside stalls can be found easily at places where there are human traffic. I noticed that along Petchburi Road, the stalls available for your choice are in abundance. Another good place to try all these roadside stalls would be Yaowarat Chinatown. You can definitely find every dishes mentioned above along the main street.

I would suggest to friends travelling to Bangkok to be abit more daring and just try all the street food. You will not regret it. Though some people will still be afraid due to hygiene issues but I believe that as long as you go for only food cooked on the spot, it should not be a problem at all. After all, I have survived so many trips so I really do not see any harm trying.
