Bangkok in depth is not only to visit its temples and tourist attractions but also to discover the jewels of local cuisine that will make us eat like a king in Bangkok for very little money. The other option is you can enjoy the best food tours in Bangkok with the local host in cheap rates.
One of the best tips to find the authentic taste of Bangkok is to mix with local markets and try a lot of Thai food surrounded by locals, a unique experience that will make the dishes taste better on our palate and the spicy does not affect us so much. When we need to take a break from Thai food we can always turn to the international restaurants of the city, since there are many of them at really affordable prices apart from most tourist areas. Some of the most famous places to have a delicious dinner at affordable prices are:
Thai food:
Soi Rambuttri in Banglamphu – At the corner of the end of this street, there is a night market that offers good food at excellent prices. A lot of street stalls selling the most varied local dishes at really incredible prices, but you have to be careful with the spicy. This site is located just behind the famous Khao San Road, just in front of the “7 eleven” and the ice cream shop of the “Swensen’s” chain.
Sukhumvit Soi 33– This alley on the famous Sukhumvit Avenue has another street market with hundreds of options to choose from local cuisine recipes. The majority of Thais who work in the area or in the offices of this street, meet at night to stop at these stalls, where the food is delicious, there is a lot of variety to choose from and prices are really low.
Sukhumvit Soi 38 – In this corner of soi 38 there are different local food vendors, where you can find fabulous dishes of Thai food at very low prices. This area is also popular among the inhabitants of Bangkok for dinner, gathering groups of friends and couples who go down to dinner there as a family. The vendors start assembling their beach bars from 5 in the afternoon and usually serve food until after 2 in the morning. This site is very close to the BTS Thong Lo Skytrain stop.
International food:
Tapas – There is a great restaurant called Tapas in Sukhumvit Soi 11, a place to dine some Spanish food, sangria and some skewers of potato tortillas. At the end of Soi 11, there is another restaurant called Catalina, with slightly more detailed decoration and a larger menu, although that shows in the price of their dishes.
Japanese – In the Japanese area of the city, there are many restaurants with food from the Japanese country but their prices are too expensive. One of the most prominent food in the country of the rising sun is the “Takumi Japanese restaurant” but a big dinner there can leave us for about 1500 bahts. In Bangkok, there are many Japanese restaurants at affordable prices and delicious food, such as those in the Silom area, which are simply simple but with divine sushi. One of the highlights here is the “Zen”.
Italian – The best value Italian food is in Bella Napoli on soi 31 of Sukhumvit Soi. Here the most traditional Italian food like pizzas and pastas, only cost 100 and peak bahts, prices unthinkable in the Sukhumvit area. In addition, everything is great and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The other Italian restaurant featured in Sukhumvit is the Limoncello, located on the 11th of this street, a little more expensive but sublime and delicious.
Chinese – The Chinatown area, better known among locals as Yaowarat, is a small piece of the Asian giant within the Thai capital. In the Chinatown of Bangkok, we will find the most peculiar and typical delicacies of China, being here the “mecca” of fresh fish and seafood. Dozens of trucks come every morning from the banks of the ports of Bangkok, to bring the fish fresh from the previous night from the sea and that the skilled cooks of Chinese origin are responsible for preparing, seasoning them with various condiments following ancient millenary recipes.
Indians – Bangkok also has a small “Little India”, where there are plenty of restaurants of Indian origin with the most typical and original dishes of this country. In general, they usually have fairly cheap prices, but there is also some high quality where their prices stand out from normal. The Moghul Room in the Sukhumvit soi 11, is one of the best value for its value for money and nobody who dines in their dining rooms is disappointed. Masala Mantra, is another of the well-known Indian restaurants in the city center, at a good price and excellent food, even though its location is a little more hidden in the soi Sathu Pradit 19 of Narathiwas 24 Street, but any taxi driver who knows the city will know-how to take us there.
