Street food in Bangkok

Five places to eat standing up. Cash only, and the busiest stall is the right one.

  1. Samphanthawong

    Yaowarat (Chinatown)

    Bangkok's street-food street. It comes alive after dark and barely functions before it.

  2. Kamphaeng Phet MRT

    Chatuchak weekend market

    The food lanes inside the weekend market. Go for the eating, not only the shopping — and go early, before the heat.

  3. Khlong Toei

    Khlong Toei market

    The city's main fresh market, where the restaurants buy. Working market, wet floors, not a tourist attraction.

  4. Siriraj, west bank

    Wang Lang market

    A student and hospital-staff market across the river. Cheap, local, and almost no visitors.

  5. Lat Phrao

    Save One Go night market

    An evening market well outside the tourist map, which is the reason to go.
