Most Old-School Bangkok Eatery: Have a meal at Chote Chit ($) off Tanao Road in the Old City, and sample flavors most people in Bangkok have forgotten about.
Best Pad Thai: It’s a toss-up between Pad Thai Loong Pha ($) in Dusit and Thip Samai ($) in the Old City.
Best Street Food: The street stalls and shophouses surrounding Wat Kanikapol and Trok Isara Nuphap ($) offer some of the best “fast food” in Bangkok.
Best Thai Restaurant for Splurging: Head to Blue Elephant ($$$) in Silom to enjoy the traditional Thai menu and beautiful decor.
Khao Mun Gai Pratunam $: Khao Mun Gai Pratunam ($) downtown stays open after the clubs close and serves cheap, satisfying chicken rice.
Most Indulgent Brunch: The best has got to be the Spice Market at the Four Seasons ($$$) open-bar Sunday brunch, hands down.
Best Nouveau Thai: Bo.Lan ($$$) stays true to the flavors of Thailand but takes enough creative license to make the meal like nothing you’ve ever had.
