Restaurants in Bangkok

Bangkok is one of those cities where just about any culinary concoction under the sun can be found in its roadside stalls, or in its plethora of restaurants, cafés and eateries. Though, expats should be warned in advance that decor does not take priority - be prepared for plastic chairs, peeling walls and deep fried locusts.

Chinatown is bustling with unique and exciting eateries. Sukhumvit is the place to go for trendy restaurants, and Banglamphu serves all the western food a home-sick expat could ask for.
