The ski-goggled street-food queen: crab omelette worth every baht of the queue. Go at opening (9am) or prepare to wait hours - no reservations.
Guide
Where to eat in Bangkok
Bangkok is the world's great food city and it isn't close: Michelin-starred street stalls, boat noodles for a dollar, rooftop fine dining. Real places, honest prices.
Photos for Bangkok are still on their way. Every listing below is real.
The legends
Thip Samai
The pad thai wars end here: wrapped in egg, orange juice on the side, since 1966. Cash-friendly, always busy.
Local institutions
Jok Prince
The late-night congee spot: pork congee with the crispy bits, eaten at 2am with the city's night owls.
Somboon Seafood
The crab-curry palace: pu pad pong karee (curry crab) is the dish Bangkok dreams about. Surasak branch is the classic.
Worth the splurge
Err
Urban rustic Thai: the fine-dining end of street food, in a Sathorn shophouse. The tasting menu is the move.
