One Night in Bangkok

Part 2 Food 好吃又便宜

Ok as promised we now talk about Food.

I actually lived in Ratchadapisek area. I have gain not less than 5kg thanks to food offer at Ratchadapisek.

Hmmmmm what type of food you like? Japanese Food? Chinese Food? Thai Food?

Let's start with those places within the hotel vicinity.

First let start with some Thai Food. There are three places that I will recommend

  1. The Soi (Lorong/small street) after Huay Kwang MRT station (recommend for dinner and supper only-"open till early morning")

    Walk towards the Huay Kwang MRT station, when u reach the traffic light turn left (you can see the Indian Temple from where you stand)walk along the street you will see lot and lot of Thai food restaurant along the street. Those are not "High" class restaurant but there serve first class Thai Food.

    At night this street is also a good place to hang around as you will see lot of "Beautiful girl" around. Ladies you will be humbled(don't get jealous) and guys don't get too excited about that. Sometime you will also see elephant walking along side with you. Don't believe! Try it! One more thing which I find exciting about this street is that there is a "Unisex" saloon that offers 24 hrs services. I am serious 24 hrs. If you are bored 3am in the morning why not go for a hair wash………….

    Ok, now look on your left, choose one which you think can give you the best offer (own judgement applied) and try your luck there.

    What is good? Try the TomYam Kung (prawn), Barbeque Prawn (big prawn), Fresh salad oyster (Thai style) and lemon grass bake fish and maybe some friend rice (with seafood )

    Of course there is many other type of great food there trying those I recommend and explore the others?

    Guess how much you need to bring for the meal (assume for 4 persons)? You will be surprise!


     

  2. Get into the MRT(Huay Kwang station) go to Sutthisan Station Exit at MuangThai Phatra Exit

    Now if you are looking for some local hawker foods come to this dry market in the heart of Ratchadapisek.

    Time Monday to Friday for breakfast and lunch

    Daily for Dinner

    You will find variety of choice! So what would I recommend:.

  • Phat Thai (Thai friend koey tiaw)
  • Yen Tau For (Thai Koey Teow soup)
  • Thai Chicken rice-must try
  • Som Tam (Thai Salad) and many others
  • And many other choices that you will be surprise with!
  1. Thai dessert.

    Get into the MRT again go to the Thailand Cultural Center Station. Follow the Carrefour exit and go into Carrefour. You will see a stall within Carrefour selling Thai Dessert. Go for it!


     

    Japanese Food

It sound weird to have Japanese Food in Bangkok but I can assure you that Bangkok is one of the place that offer quality Thai Food

Opposite the Pallazo Hotel there is an Emerald Hotel go to the second floor which offer Japanese Buffet. They offer great choices for buffet and at very affordable price.

You will enjoy sashimi. Special request for the salmon belly, you will not regret to be there. There also serve good variety of Tepanyaki.

Some of the choices there you might not see it in Malaysia. For Jap food lover you will not regret.
