Favorite Places in Bangkok

It’s been almost a year since I left Bangkok and returned to the United States. So I thought I would curate out some of my favorite places in case friends/family make their way out there. By no means is this a definitive list. After living in Thailand for six months, there’s still many places I never tried out. And of course there will always be pundits that disagree, which I welcome them to by writing their own blog post to share then.

Anyway, here are my favorite spots in Bangkok. I handpicked these out of 99 posts I tagged as being part of Bangkok. Enjoy!

Favorite Chinese

• Top Menu - My personal favorite for Chinese food in general.
• Waraporn Salapao - The best tasting salapao I’ve had in Bangkok!
• Jea Ngor Kitchen - My dad’s side of the family’s favorite place.
• Chandrphen Restaurant - I think my mom’s side of the family’s favorite place.
• Yaowarat - Basically Bangkok’s Chinatown. Best to go when it’s not too hot out in the evening, in a group so you can order a lot. The atmosphere is interesting, and there should be some nice picture opportunities, but still not the tastiest Chinese food I’ve had though. But it’s definitely street-food.
• Nguan Lee - Great late night spot. The roasted chestnuts sold just outside is the best I’ve ever had.

Favorite Thai

• T-Spoon - I find everything here to be super delicious.
• Cafe Chilli - Very easy place to get to in Siam Paragon (ground floor).
• Som Tam Nua - Very popular place, maybe a little over-rated with poor service.
• Aa Paa - Best noodles I’ve had, ever.
• Soi Polo Fried Chicken
• ทิพสมัย ผัดไทย - Pad Thai here is really good.
• ข้าวต้มกระดูกหมู - Congee and fried prok
• Baan Glom Gig - Scrambled egg (kai-jiew) is the best here.

Favorite Bakery and Dessert

• After You Cafe - My favorite dessert place.
• Mont Nom Sot
• ครัวดอกไม้ขาว
• Mango Tango
• Coffee Beans by Dao
