My Recommendations
- Breakfast delights: nothing beats street food breakfast – my personal favourite is omelette at Soi Pradit near Suranwong
- BBQ Seafood: Across most of Bangkok you will find vendors offering freshly BBQ’d seafood. Sit on a plastic stool and enjoy.
- Mango Sticky Rice: Quintessential bangkok street food. My personal favoutite is Mae Varee Mango Stick Rice at 1 Thong LoÂ
- Crab Omelette: Jay Fai has made the crab omelette famous but there are so many options around town. Don’t go for fame – try very local.
