Food and dining in Bangkok

There are several eating places in Bangkok and most of them can be found outside shopping malls, inside markets, along the pavement or anywhere with a cart and a few fold-up tables and chairs. These places offer cheap and tasty food that you will not find in normal tourist restaurants.

The food is hygienic is all respect and to ensure it inspect if the food is fresh, the oil in the pan isn't dark sludgy brown and the food is thoroughly cooked in front of you. Go at lunch time, when food is freshest. Stir-frying, grilling and soup made from boiling water offer safe cooking methods. The food served in Thai restaurants is delicious, exotic, and prepared using fresh herbs and spices like lemongrass, sweet basil, ginger, garlic and, of course, chili.
