Bangkok’s Best Restaurants

Price Key

Most Old-School Bangkok Eatery [1]: Have a meal at Chote Chit [1] ($) 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 [2] ($) in Dusit and Thip Samai [3] ($) in the Old City.

Best Street Food [4]: The street stalls and shophouses surrounding Wat Kanikapol and Trok Isara Nuphap [4] ($) offer some of the best “fast food” in Bangkok.

Best Thai Restaurant for Splurging [5]: Head to Blue Elephant [5] ($$$) in Silom to enjoy the traditional Thai menu and beautiful decor.

Khao Mun Gai Pratunam $ [6]: Khao Mun Gai Pratunam [6] ($) downtown stays open after the clubs close and serves cheap, satisfying chicken rice.

Most Indulgent Brunch [7]: The best has got to be the Spice Market at the Four Seasons [7] ($$$) open-bar Sunday brunch, hands down.

Best Nouveau Thai [8]: Bo.Lan [8] ($$$) stays true to the flavors of Thailand but takes enough creative license to make the meal like nothing you’ve ever had.
