Street food is one of the best ways to learn about a country’s culture and its people. When we travel, we don’t just discover new places, we also explore the local palates. Splendidly in Asia, getting food from the streets is a lifestyle (and cheap too!). And for street food afficionados like me, Bangkok is nirvana!
Posted here are a few of those nonchalant treats on the streets of Bangkok, including those in the hippie Khao san road and the epic Soi38:
Khao san road: fancy some high protein munchies?
Khao san road: This is ice cream bliss!
Sathorn: Seafood tomyum and fried veggie noodles for brunch!
Khao san road: Pad thai, pork bbq and beer all for less than US$5.
Khao san road: Too yummy to describe – Pork, beef, or chicken bbq for 20Baht/US$0.6 per stick.
Soi/Street 38: more deliciousness-on-a-stick
Soi38: Fresh fishies covered in sea salt and grilling.
Soi38: Big fish out from the grill and into our stomachs! Eat with rice and salads on the side.
Soi38: Mango and sticky rice with cocnut milk -ladies and gentlemen, a taste of heaven for 50Baht/US$1.50! I’ve had this almost everyday around Bangkok but Soi38 wins for the richness and freshness (Anantara Phuket’s restaurant version of it is blah!)
Soi 38: More pork goodness on a cheap.
Soi38: Like the Philippines’ “halo-halo” – mix of sweetness on ice and milk/ice cream.
Silom center: Fried chicken with that yummy spicy peanut/soy sauce and watercress/river spinach on fish sauce.
